Locking Bonnet Pins
Hi, can anyone recommend locking bonnet pins?
This is the sort of thing I'm looking at, because it is fairly discreet. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bonnet-Bo...53.m1438.l2649 I want to make sure they don't rust easily and given that using one at each corner is sufficient to secure the bonnet rather as I don't plan to use any other latches. I'd appreciate any help / advice. Thank-you! |
My experience of chrome plated products at the cheaper end is that they do rust. ACF50 will help.
Aluminium is normally better, whether lockable ones are available... |
Likely to freeze in cold weather.
I fitted similar to a boot lid but replaced it with one that had a hinged cover. |
Mine are discrete and nice. I will try to find photos and links tomorrow. Too pissed tonight
|
Thanks all. Where can I get aluminium ones from?
Pictures would really help - thanks. |

I have 2 sets of expensive "stainless steel" headlight rims that rusted in less than 12 months. Being expensive does not necessarily mean better quality, just a greedier seller. |
Fair point.
Do they need to be lockable? Access to the under bonnet area doesn't make the car more likely to stolen. |
