Were you in the blue 90 that did a dramatic sideways bounce in the video....?   :-k

Wish I'd been there... still trying to figure out what happened...!   8-[ :-$ :doh: :clap:

Bonnet pins should be a Halfords job... Though I got mine at Douglass Motors in Wolston, Warwickshire. Try online... Paddocks etc should have them.

I welded two bits of flat plate to the slam panel about an inch or so from the edge of the bonnet.

This is how my old ones were on the front end that we rearranged in France!

I think the new ones might be fractionally further out.

I got mine on fleebay, only thing i would look out for though, is the length (ooh err) as mine are bolted right at there limit. Mine are bolted through either side of the Rad and intercooler, just to the front a bit, with extra plates inderneath to give a bit extra strength. I can get you a picture later if it helps?
