bonnet catches, spring loaded..?
i'm after some bonnet catches which i think i saw on a caterham, they were spring loaded, the front pair having longer springs than the rear???
anyone got any pics or where's the best place to buy them from?
how reliable are these? are they ok for track use?
cheers

Have a look here @ Protex
shimming solid lifters is a job for a friend...

Remember that that sort of catch isn't SVA friendly, the only type of catch that works is the rubber type
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Yes, great for track use, used on racers, very secure if fitted right....
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

For MOT - yes.
For SVA - not without modification.

super duper
will take a pic tomorrow night for you mate but fitting is a snap. I couldnt get the little normal catches to sit right and my bodywork was ending up
like swiss cheese with holes.
