Aerocatch Bonnet Restraints

Come around and borrow the lathe mate, a pair of stainless ones wouldn't be hard to knock out I imagine... Do you have a pic of the pin?

sorry, didnt mean the small locking pin, meant the threaded bit (strike?, i dunno). didnt see big enough threads at bunnings (think its M10) might try a bolt shop.

guess it'd just need some heating up and some hitting?

I find it highly unlikely that an undamaged pin would break. Maybe in an accident. If you have it adjusted so that it doesn't rattle, it is less like to wear or fatigue. Inspect it after every event and you should be good to go.

I think these are generally a fine thread M12 on a lot of the old school steel bonnet pins. If yours is M10, then using a M12 will allow you to file flats onto the pin and still give you enough meat to drill the hole for the locking pin.

Been running these for years no issues...

From what I found on the web's, seem to be number of cheap knock offs getting around. Mine came with the bonnet I bought, looks identical to genuine... Guess I'll never know
