Bonnet catches and Nose Cone
Hi Folks,
Two things:
Can anyone tell me the best type and supplier of SVA friendly bonnet catches? Also - how many fixings are people using on the nose cone, and where
placed?

The best type in my view is the Aerocatch
Cheers,

At the top of the nosecone I used 1 bolt either side fixing to brackets welded to the top chassis rails. Then used 3 bolts screwed into rivnuts at the
lower front edge.
I used over centre rubber catches from Car Builders Solutions to secure the bonnet.

Are we generally OK with just the two fasteners and the lower front contained by the support piece.
Darren - are your bolts hidden by the bonnet and is the n/cone reinforced or just straight through the GRP?
Just as a matter of interest why not the DZeus jobbies that uncle Ron suggests. Is it cost or just that you don't trust them?
Thanks folks
Mike
