Bonnet Pins

<< < (3/3)

muddyweb:
My Advice would be that if you are going to fit bonnet pins, do not leave the bonnet pull as well.

If you need to get under the bonnet in a hurry, you can get into all sorts of difficulty having to release the pins under tension, or the pins not allowing the pull to release properly.

What is the reason for the pins ?

I've heard a couple of stories about people's bonnets opening at speed, but to be honest I think they are exceptional circumstances.

on my 90 it still had the 2nd catch but that got lobbed in the bin when i took the motor over as it was a pain to open the bonnet with the light bar fitted,also got a notice inside to remember & put the pins in,dad drove the 90 up the street 1 night & had forgotten to put the pins in & got a surprise!!!

Andy.:
I have a set fitted which now enables my bonnet to lie flat shut as before the drivers side was raised.

Left the bonnet pull on too and never had a problem with both. I just apply some light pressure to the bonnet to release the pins the pull the bonnet latch and the bonnet pops up.
