Good call on these, I didnt know they existed so I just now bought a set (£10.49 delivered). A great idea for not only strength but they have captive nuts! Saves fiddling about with the standard nuts.
yeah post up the link ;)

Im looking to fit locking aerocatches to my cf bonnet inplace of the standard pins - had always wondered about the size of the cut out for the aerocatch and how it would effect the strength of the bonnet - so it looks like there is a standard part out there that addresses this :)

Same place as Rob used, I did a quick scan and it seems to be one of the cheapest: http://www.epracing.co.uk/Performance-P ... -1-76-197/

The £37.99 kit looks very good value for money.

Think I paid £35 for my locking ones, last set they had so got a bargain. But paid £8.50 for the backing plates. :D
