Purchased some Aerocatches but sent them back after seeing the size of the hole i'd have to drill in both rails.
I ordered up some simple rubber catches to fit and I wanted to make some posts that the bonnet would fit over to hold in place.
The black mark on the left is for my post and the right is where I will fit a catch.
I started with some holes in the bonnet rails on all four corners.
With the holes drilled I put the bonnet back in place and tapped into position I then transferred the holes to the chassis with a marker. Lucy for me I have a hole in the middle of the bonnet.
Once the holes were marked and drilled, I fitted some nylon posts and bolted them to the tub.
They do a perfect job.. Hold the bonnet in a perfect position.
I made up a test rig to test how tight I wanted the catches.
All marked up ready for drilling.
Note the massive scratch to the right where the rivet gun jumped.. Gutted.
Next one I taped up well so I could damage the body work.
Job well done! Time for an ice cream...
