You wouldn't want bonnet pins with no catch on the street anyway, don't want some dickehad coming and opening your bonnet while you're away...

Padlock instead of one pin. That's what my old Escort had! So no one could steal my lovely sidies!

Lol, obviously when the car was used at events (never by me :cry: ) You wouldn't use the padlock.
No idea why you would want bonnet pins on a road car.

bonnet used to never pop up on the FD until I removed the bonnet for a engine swap and re-installed it and has been working fine since then.

SO I guess the answer to your problem is rotary swap??
