hi,
i've searched but cant find what i'm looking for....
i want to attach my removable front by pins through the 2 holes on the front panel, but the only pins i can find(for a reasonable price) dont seem large enough.
i need ones that have the large circle around them if u get what i mean??
cheers

I think they are the ones I have at the back of my bonnet, in conjunction with a leather strap at the front. Allow you to raise the back of the bonnet in summer.

The metal is just like an eschuteon for a lock, it provides no structural support, just a nice mask for the hole you're creating or drilling...

Yeap, as GW says, no strength at all, just nice and shiny to cover rough holes
(yes those kind of holes)

so surely that wouldn't work for me would it??
i want the pin to go through the front panel, and so need to be strong but large enough to cover the hole in the panel(where you would usually access the teardrop nut)??

As long as there's support behind the skin then it should not matter...
