Bonnet clips options

Post by mudlva »

Ok im haveing big issues with the bonnet latch so was thinking of some form of clip clamp type of thing. Similar to jeeps and long nose trucks.

Dont want pins as i think they look like crap.

What web sites are around and if anybody knows of an nz supplier that would be awesome as time is running shy.

Inho a truck tie down dont quite cut it either :oops:

All thoughts ideas etc greatly appreciated

Bought it for my project for a bit of a different look but it doesnt look right (just too big).

I paid US$65 and postage but I'll take NZ$75 (+ postage). Amazon link below.

Yeah I'm in the same boat , inter cooler took priority over bonnet latch so now I'm going with the all black flush pin kit.. Hopefully isn't to large or obvious I hate bonnet pins

Humm. I got heaths units but as he stated they are quite bulky.
Will probably use them on the tool box instead.
I will contact areocatch and see what they cost etc and report back
