Bonnet catches

[ianmayco68]

Hi all , looking for any recommendations on upgrade bonnet catches i’m on my second genuine one in 8 months so looking for a better solution. Have seen aero catches but read good and bad about them , has anybody any other solution. It’s a daily driver and will be used for greenlaning.

cheers Ian

This sort of thing is very simple, and won't get clogged with mud, bit retro, if you like that sort of thing

Not sure how big they need to be, but gives you an idea.

How is the original one failing?

1st one rivet in the arm came out and arm broke  and this one you push it down it locks put your fingers under the bonnet and you can’t lift it start engine driving along and it pops up, have tried adjusting the striker which there is still travel on when locked and you push the bonnet down , all parts are new . When it’s locked and you use the bonnet release it works as should don’t know what else to try?
