Aerocatches - do I really need 4?
Looking at getting some Aerocatches for the Viento (seven style bonnet) and do I really need to buy 4? They are not very locost!!!!!!! Has anyone
thought of a way to get around this. Maybe lift of hinges on on side and aerocatches the other or something?

Having lost my bonnet last year at speed, and pretty much destroyed it, I would buy the best you can.
Mine were the Westy supplied catches and were worn out, losing your bonnet at 60mph is not fun and I was lucky not to cause an accident.

Seconded, happened to me, bonnet nearly hit a car coming the other way and a friendly fence post caught it for me.. cue new bonnet, new pants, nerves
etc..
So, I got a set of these:
With these for added security:
No good for IVA mind, at least I wouldn't think so...
CBS have them in as do europa but I bought mine direct from Protex...
