Removable bonnet fixing idiot driver

Postby Olof » Thu Aug 11, 2011 11:16 am

After checking the oil the other day, I managed to drive away with the bonnet not properly closed... This resulted in that the small spring loaded "quick fit pin", including its small circlip, that fixes the bonnet stay to the bonnet came adrift. Are suitable replacements available?

Thanks
Olof

I'm not sure of the design you have, standard fitting was a nut and bolt. Ola's car has a rubber washered nut and bolt system that never came loose while I had the car.
Or how about something like this http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_in ... 33kbvr8j36

Just thought, I know the type you mean now, plenty of variations on here http://www.coburg.co.uk/engineering_pro ... 4Qod4kehzQ

Thanks Stuart. The second page looks promising. I'll have good look when on a computer again and not on the iphone!

Regards
