Bonnet pins

[scratabout1988]

does anyone have any ideas of the best way to bonnet pin?

looking to use 4 on the track car bonnet for easy removal, :?

I put one in each corner of the top part - you can just about see where on the car on the left of the picture below:

If you pin them in those points then there are already holes in the bodywork that can be used for the pins so there is no need to drill any part of the car (the bonnet will need drilling of course).

mine are on the front, and ive never had any trouble. Both are fine though.

for the pins nearest to the windscreen i take it that you positioned the pin along where the wing bolts on?

if poss do you have a picture of where they are? :)

Yes, I have another picture with the bonnet off but it is still not that clear:

If that is not clear enough I can get some better close up pics for you in a few days when I get back from Hong Kong.

Only just fitted mine the other night

My rear pins are mounted in the same place as stevie's but my front ones are drilled through where the rubber buffers sit from the original bonnet

Mine are through the front slam panal, where the orignal buffers sit, and through the edge of the wing.

Ive got them on the front and just use the normal catch at the back.

i run same set up as chip pins above headlights and catch at the back as no one can steal your bonnet with out popping bonnet fromm in the car. just as easy to remove undo pins pull the catch remove from car :wink:
