Does anyone have any novel ways or just interesting ways of holding down "that there confounded hood"... (sorry....) gone a bit USA since Bush was here!

I'm not too keen on impeeding the otherwise streamline nature of the "brick" and was wondering if anyone has other idea's to decrease that there wind friction thing...

Look forward to this one I do...

4/6 Dzus fasterners ??? Thats how i think i'll do mine !

I plan to use DZUS fasteners. 2 on each side should do it.
Can get 'em from http://www.raldes.co.uk

Have a look at Bob's archive for pictures.

HTH,

James

I'm using dzus fasteners, was hoping not to have trouble at the SVA with then. After all they protrude far less than normal catches )

James - went on the raldes website... picture not too clear or informative.

Is this the DZUS to which we all refer:
