Bonnet pins?

(1/3) > >>

Mudmonkey:
Im looking at getting some bonnet pins for my defender and I was just wondering if anyone had done this and if they have how have they mounted them on the underneath.
Ive seen a few discos with them but never a defender.
(The real reason for this post is that its cold outside and I cant be bothered to go look for myself until it gets lighter tomorrow :lol:)

I didn't use bonnet pins.
I went for the standard Land Rover bonnet clips as fitted to the series one's and two's as well as the Camel Trophy Defenders.
You keep all the other original bonnet fittings as well.

There should be a picture on there.

I've got bonnet pins on both 110's, so I'll try and grab some piccies tonight as well.

We used to have the standard series / military bonnet catches on the racer, i.e. the hook over, rubber thingys; but to be honest, they weren't all that good and could unhook themselves under more extreme circumstances. The pins feature a more positve locking mechanism which just inspires a bit more confidence and keeps the scrutineers more happy.  :wink:

cheers
