August 17, 200818 yr comment_268660 I'm going to install some bonnet locks on my ke20 as they are known to flip bonnets. has anyone done this to their car and have pics of where they put them? I don't have my car to go have a look at (its garaged at the in-laws), but i'm wondering whether the pin will end up going through the thick part of the bonnet skin. Report
August 17, 200818 yr comment_268691 Been there, done that. I used where the front bonnet support (the round do dad the supports the bonnet at the front) and replaced it with the pin. Drop bonnet from a couple of inches to get where the pins touch the bonnet (on round indentation on bonnet proper) The hole needed will be a touch larger than you think due the angle at which the bonnet comes over the pin. I'll get some pics tomorrow when the camera is charged up again.... Cheers R Report

August 17, 200818 yr Author comment_268739 considering everything major on my car is perfectly legal i'm happy to take a risk with the bonnet pins. i thought about those flush mount ones but i reckon the stainless pins with the lanyards would suit the age of the car better. i was also interested in doing this, pics would be appreciated. not that i break 70 in my 20, just like the look :dance: Cheers for the granny/race spec look? :blush: Edited August 17, 200818 yr by Jono Report
