Hi Paul

I'm just playing detective for the originals... If you can help me get some replacements for the originals that would be great

Cheers

Shaun

OK, time to Resurrect this thread.

Just fitted a carbon bonnet at the weekend. On the motorway a couple of days ago at around 85 ish, and I noticed the bonnet was more 'active' than usual.

Should I invest in some pins ? (in conjunction with the latch)

If so, any recommendations on the ones to get.

Can I assume that the latch is strong enough to hold the bonnet at high speed, or should I err on the side of caution and keep the high speed runs doen until the pins are in place.

Thanks
