RE: Bonnet Fastening

[Jeff Oldham]

u mean like an ocky strap???   Nah its actually a 2 piece system i got it at supercheap for about $6.00 it has a long nylon strap with a metal hook on one end and a shorter one with a metal hook & a gripper clamp i slip the long one through the std metal webbing on the underside of the bonnet till the metal hook grabs i wrap the short one around the bumber & thread the long one through the gripper.  then i just tie the excess back around it   sounds more complicated than it is trust me :)   I think their called luggage ties or straps - their rated to about 80 kg load i think     Jeff  "When i die i want to go quietly in my sleep like my grandfather, not shouting and screaming like his passenger.....   I need to pass the car thru a blue slip inspection. So it's gotta be legal. Luggage tie, u mean like an ocky strap???   I was thinking of using something like some shielded steel cable or something as a secondary to the pins, then I can padlock it from inside. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Oldham To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 10:49 AM Subject: RE: Bonnet Fastening I use a luggage tie, i wind it throught the bonnett & down over the bumper their about $6.00 each -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 9:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bonnet Fastening I had a look at the RTA website and only "forwards facing" ornaments and protrusions are illegal. Items such as spotlight mounts on bullbars, fishing racks, etc must be removed when they are finished with. But I couldn't find anything on "bonnet pins" as such.   Now in some classes of racing it is mandatory to install bonnet pins as a secondary method of bonnet fastening, and in the same class of racing you must also be road registered. I think it's an "IFFY" kind of situation and its borderline legal.   You are right though, but think that anybody who is hit by a car is gunna be more worried about their broken legs than a cut on their chest.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Oldham To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 8:29 AM Subject: RE: Bonnet Fastening mate as far as i know you cant use bonnet pins legally. its cause when you hit a pedestrian it cuts them up (i said when not if :)) thats why they got rid of hood ornaments   Jeff "When i die i want to go quietly in my sleep like my grandfather, not shouting and screaming like his passenger..... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 28, 2004 8:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bonnet Fastening   Anyone know the legalities of using bonnet pins on a road registered car in NSW?   My problem is I got an intercooler in the way and had to take the bonnect latch off.   What other legal ways are there to hold the bonnet down??? --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
