just got myself a new bonnet :D

 but although it has the orginal catch will be adding pins  !
was thinking about the flush ones but it looks like you got to make a pretty big holes ?
and have seen some people but them at the front others behind the lights or both ! pros and cons pls.

Got my set from gary at Rotaryart, link above.
Any pins are are pig to fit. Just take your time and line everything up. Wouldn\'t be without them.

Make sure that the drill bit you use is ULTRA SHARP!!!! You dont want to mess that bonnet up.

Either start with a small bit then work up to the required size, or use a hole cutter. Also cover the area you want to drill with masking tape, to stop it slipping.

When drilling having marked the exact spot, drill a very small pilot hole, then put masking/gaffer tape over the area both sides top/underneath. rub the tape to find the pilot hole and drill. This will stop any chipping. HTH.

yeah prob going to go for these ones. but do i go for the easer ones to fit like this, needs less acurate hole as fits down into bonnet.

 
or the more difficult but imo better looking, as these seem to fit up under bonnet ? and i am not sure what holds them in place?.

 
and will deff be gettin lockable ones.

Hi
The top fitting ones have small srews that hold them together.
The truely flush ones do need to be cut perfectly and are bonded (glued) in.
A very good catch chosen.
