  • "Secondary" bonnet catch

    For those of you that have tracked your Polos, were you required to use an addtional bonnet catch?

    If so, what did you use?

    I'm not sure if the factory second catch is passable.

    to my understanding it's only required for certain CAMS sanctioned events, requiring a certain level of license to participate too. CAMS website will be able to elaborate.

    For most sprint style events, no secondary latch is required, but these aren't usually CAMS affiliated.

      Sprints here are CAMS sanctioned.

        Stuwey, the "secondary" bonnet latch CAMS are talking about is already part of your bonnet latch setup. The initial latch that you have to undo with the lever inside the car is the first latch, the second is when you have to pull the lever under the bonnet to release the bonnet hook.
        They are more referring to older cars that dont have this setup and therefore need bonnet pins or a strap/chain from the bonnet to rad support.

        You heading out to Malalalalala soon?!

          Mallallallallallalla sprints are on next Sunday, the 4th.

          Got the Ferodo pads on their way. Extinguisher in, blue tringle on, and ready to roll.
