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.

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.
