Bonnet latches needed after 90mph lift off!!!

After a fair fee thousand hard miles, randomly my bonnet decided to fly off on track yesterday.

Very luckily to cause in a couple of minutes delay and no injury.

Incredibly the damage is minor as it landed "softly" on the grass!

Anyway, currently using four rubber style large bonnet catches, would like to replace or upgrade.
