Reply to "Problem with Beck bonnet latches?"

Hi Theo,

Wow, bummer. The exact same thing happened to me on a trip back from and Ortega highway run. Driving about 70 on the freeway just heading uphill got a gust of wind and WHAM, the whole bonnet flew over and drug on the ground upside down. The tops of both fenders were ground down and on the back both sides of the licence plate cracked up about 18 inches. I made it home using bungie cords that I pulled over and bought and just hung my head for the rest of that Saturday (actually I played video games online for 5 hours, getting over it). The next day I got up and said I've got to fix it and I glassed my way the whole day and got everything back together on that Sunday.

Luckily my car hadn't yet been painted and, for whatever reason, I don't love the straps so I put pin locks on the back. Took some 'engineering' but it works great and I really like the 60's look of it. You can see a picture of one of them on the attached.
