Hi all,

Was just wondering if anyone has used Dzus clips to hold their bonnet in place, or even if it's legal.

Also has anyone fitted Aerocatchs? http://www.aerocatch...=1&procatid=158 they are brilliant, but was wondering if anyone has used them on a mini....

Thanks
Moosh

As long as there's more than one it's legal, I'm sure i've seen a few of the Zcars boys use Aerocatchs before so it might be worth looking in their section for pics.

i got aero catches on mine... not the easiest pic to see, but one in each corner

not sure how well it would work on a round noser, maybe a case of hooking it over if the catches sat on the bonnet correctly

I was going to use Dzus fasteners on my bonnet - two in the front corners and use the original hinges.

Either that or a pair of springs

Had them on my R1, plus pins at the back, just make sure they are tight when pushed in otherwise they can pop open!
