My bonnet is not attached to the chassis it is held in place by the 4 aluminium "tongues" that slip underneath the recessed part of the nosecone roughly at 10 and 2 o clock and a 9 and 3 oclock

Okaaaayyyy ! Sorry, I thought these parts where just there to hold the trim. Now I understand.
Very clever... and inspiring ! Thank you Kev.

Westfield also use just 2 aerocatches on the scuttle side, there are some vertical pins protruding back from the nosecone that lock into the bonnet or vice versa. Seen that on Mark Evans' "A Racing Car is Born", sadly it seems to be pulled off youtube now, apparently someone's still trying to sell DVDs...

That would require a return on the nose cone or something for the pin to go into. I thought about doing that and have 2 pins that I took off a garden swing seat but ended up with a 2nd set of catches.

I have watched this part of the video I found somewhere else on the Net than Youtube
 I like this simple way to attach the front end. It looks like Equinox's bonnet and nose have the return SeriesLandy is talking about, so I will have a go with that... and will order just 1 pair of catches for now. Thank you very much for the help
