Made up some bonnet tie downs. I had got some rubber 'RS' style hooks but can't get the mounting plate to fit correctly. So went down to the local "everything under one roof shop" and picked up some leather gents belts and made up some leather strap tie downs. Think it gives a nice alternative look, normally seen on 356 outlaws...






I know that one of the 911r prototypes had leather straps between bonnet and wings. I thought of trying this but on my car the combination of fibreglass hood, wings and drilled out hinges has resulted in a slight twisting of the bonnet. So I have fitted the straps over the bumper, this will straighten the bonnet out once properly attached (only double sided tape at the moment), and in my humble opinion looks better balanced...




Rear strap needs some tweaking but should be sorted with the use of a luggage strap hook to guide the strap...just a shame that the license plate gets in the way







Thanks
Chris
