Hi Mike
Got my net from Ha*****s - cheap & cheerful with metal hooks
Also bought some stainless 'P' clips, type used to hold brake pipes etc, got 3 down each side of bonnet, and one at front and back sort-of central.
I usually have a strop, with shackle, a pair of gloves and possibly the winch-rope (not wire) tucked under and, touch wood, it all seems to stay put.

A mate of mine came back from the 2005 Belgium Nationals with a crate of beer under his bonnet net - raised a few eyebrows going round the M25, but he never got pulled....

HtH,  Chris
If I could work out how, and it wasn't raining out, I'd go take a piccy or two - but it is p*****g down, and dark...sorry!

Tesco do 'em for a fiver. I use one as a makeshift dog guard and one to strap stuff down in the back. Only problem is untangling them when you've just bundled em up.

Bike dealers sell em as well. You can get fold away d rings from autoelectircs, they make a neat job of it.

i use two small bike cargo nets in the back of the paj. i overlap em using the rings on the floor. it makes a good adjustable storage. the hooks on em just loop over whatever bit u want, that and the stretch in the net means youcan take all sorts of size loads.

I saw at the Eastnor show a "Roof Rack" with cargo netting that went on the bonnet of a defender - I nearly bought one but didn't fancy carrying back to the car - looked a useful bit of kit - sorry I can't remember who was selling them

I have a cargo net, the same as the Tesco ones on the inside of the roof at the back of the disco. I keep clothing in there like a jacket, waterproofs etc. Great way of always having them and always keeping clean and dry.
