What are people using to hold there fibreglass bonnets down? The back has hinge mountings built in, but what is legal for the front? (Victoria) Any pic's?

Bonnet pins are legal, but if you want a flush fit setup look at dzus fasteners.

Are they legal? I took the 4 pins off the f/g bonnet on my SD1 and attached it with flush fitting fasteners instead.

The f/g bonnet on my Mini Van is still attached with 4 sliding type pins. I was going to replace these with flush types too, but if there's no legal ramifications having pins I may as well retain them. They certainly look the business.
