If I built my car again, I would try to find an alternative to these catches. Not because they don't work, but because they are so far from that production car feel... I would use aero catches, or something similar to Westfield's lockable version...
When I look at the catches they just look an afterthought, a simple, but "too obvious" solution, if you see what I mean...

Agree with Gergley, I would be looking at lockable aerocatches - http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2021?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping

Oh, i actually really like the look of these bonnet catches. Im not sure why but i prefer them to any of the aero ones and any i've seen on kit cars so far.
