Bonnet Locks/hood Pins

[Jono]

I'm going to install some bonnet locks on my ke20 as they are known to flip bonnets.

 

has anyone done this to their car and have pics of where they put them?

 

I don't have my car to go have a look at (its garaged at the in-laws), but i'm wondering whether the pin will end up going through the thick part of the bonnet skin.

Been there, done that.

 

I used where the front bonnet support (the round do dad the supports the bonnet at the front) and replaced it with the pin. Drop bonnet from a couple of inches to get where the pins touch the bonnet (on round indentation on bonnet proper) The hole needed will be a touch larger than you think due the angle at which the bonnet comes over the pin.

 

I'll get some pics tomorrow when the camera is charged up again....

Just so you don't get defected, the pins have to be flush with the bonnet, or its deemed illegal in good ol' South Australia.

Problem solved.

considering everything major on my car is perfectly legal i'm happy to take a risk with the bonnet pins.

 

i thought about those flush mount ones but i reckon the stainless pins with the lanyards would suit the age of the car better.

more granny spec....altho i don't like to call it that. more of a tough look :dance:

 

F8ck SA and theyr laws, if you hit someone the last thing thats going through theyr mind is, 'f8ck that pins guna hurt!'

 

if the car hits you your Mcsmegged regardless.

 

are the lanyards the ones with wires coming off them?

those aerocatch ones look pretty cool actually, like 2 small bonnet vents

[KE ping it real]

I prefer the old school look with the s/steel cable lanyards

 

Fully sick race spec

 

I will definatly be investing in a set after engineering

[Falken_KE30]
