That's quite an elegant solution to be fair, and most definitely the lowest cost of them all. I did wonder about needing a tool to open the bonnet, but something on a key ring is just as effective. Thank you both for the suggestion, I think this is the winner.


If you choose the same size button head socket screw as available bonnet pins you can always change them later - should mean no extra or holes are required

On the GTM Libra/Spyder the front and rear clams are held down by countersunk socket heads in fairing washers. I always carry a tee head allen key so I can open the clams - 5 at the front, 6 at the back (engine cover) but doesn't take too long..

Very pretty, although I'm guessing the countersunk fairing contributes to that.
