Bonnet Catch

Can anyone recommend some SVA friendly bonnet catches? I bought some from RALDES ages ago, but not convinced that they'll satisfy the man from the ministry.

Cheers, Ian.

The Tiger book has a picture of a car with bonnet catches and carbon fibre look covers over them, presumably, if these are correctly radiused, it should be OK. Don't ask me where to get them from though.

Rally Design and Fastfix do them. Fast fix prefer an order over £15.00 though.

I used the SVA compliant ones from:
www.nfauto.co.uk/bonnet_latches
Not particularly cheap but good. NFauto were helpful and the latches impressed the SVA inspector who hadn't seen them before.
See photos section - CairB - Ready for SVA.
