minivin Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Got a new bonnet strap for my SIII 109, unlike what I would expect where you pull it through and a spring latched anti-return clamp stops the strap going back until you press the release, this is a "feed and lace" type which you then possibly flick-over to finish the retention. Anybody got an explanation how to thread these things, I'll see if I can get a picture of it, at work at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minivin Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Fecking thing, totally different to anything I have seen: Problem is, I finally got it to lock and seem to hold the tension: But a couple of pings on the lead as per if it was going heavy off road and the thing pops open: Is there a way of threading this thing that I am missing as I have tried about five other routes and they wont hold closed Could be resorting to a ty-wrap to hold it closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hi This is from memory of about 10 years ago but here we go. 1:In pic 3 the buckle part is the wrong way up so swap the 2 straps at the bonnet side for side. 2:With the buckle laying flat like it is shown in pic 3, bring the other strap underneath & back thro the buckle, then dive it down to the underneath between the hinge & the first bar beyond the hinge on the Y strap side. To tension flick buckle up, pull tail strap & flatten out buckle till the detents click in. If you look in pic 3 you can see that the tension is trying to open the buckle as you have it threaded. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
