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.

Henry Webster:
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.

GreedyGibson:
i mounted mine where the rubber bumpers are for the bonnet i found you coule just about get the nut between the top dome and the bottom part of the slam panel and made it a captive nut i dont have any pictures though and have since chopped the whole front off :)
