Anyone fitted these as an alternative to bonnet pins? They fit flush with the bonnet and can be locked with a key if wanted, Merlin Motorsport sells them cheaper than most other suppliers.

they look a lot bigger (126mm long). kind of reminds me of those locks on the side of a computer case....if your after locking pins a bit smaller these could be your answerhttp://www.statracing.com/images/store/mrg-1472.jpg. Also come in a carbon look http://www.speedzonemotorsports.com/images/P/image.php-01.jpg

The curvature of a roundy bonnet may make them look a bit :? .

Very neat looking design though. Maybe a bit modern for a 60's or 70's car?

Looks like an expensive adaptation of truck body locks: http://www.uesint.com/upload/pdf/C2%20Latches.pdf

The UES wed site is a bit crap but they do have lots of good gear.
