Reply to "Problem with Beck bonnet latches?"

Former Member

Theo - Sorry to hear that my nightmare came true on your car. I know you're focused on repairing your car, but have you looked at your latches to see if they are damaged or distorted? Any info you can provide might help others in preventing such a disaster.

I agree with Terry with regard to the leather straps and their ability to hold the bonnet on at speed. In the case of my car, they are more decorative than anything else.

I think that once I get mine back together, I'm going to focus on a second "system" for holding the bonnet down.

I like Bert's pins, but I like the straps better, so whatever I do, it will have to be "invisible"...

Anyone else have ideas?
