Thread: who's bonnet flaps around on the hwy (classic)

On the TD5 Defender there are two pins with rubber that you wind out to keep the bonnet under pressure when closed.

constructed a simple pair rubber of rubber feet to stop this on my rangie. I used HT bolts and rubber end caps from clark ruber. Same principle as the defender.....

Ummmm, you could always adjust the little stops and shim the latch correctly

If they're still there..........

or do what I do and ignore it

That too.....

John from York(WA) had the perfect fix,on one of the trips he joined us on he had a ratchet strap across the bonnet!!!!!

The flapping is usually caused by the rubber feet perishing & falling off.

Stick some new rubber on, re-adjust the legs & you should be fine.
