[quote][i]Originally posted by Rob_Quads[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Nismo[/i] yes its not unheard of, as the carbon is so light when you reach high speeds the air forces the bonnet up and the latch snaps off on the bonnet and walllaaa smashes up , This is why bonnet pins are used as they hold the bonnet down if the latchs break off. this is why you see all jap cars and stuff with pins to hold them down. [/quote] That doesn't make sense - if they are lighter then there is less chance of them flipping up than a standard bonnet, the heavier the bonnet is the greater momentum the bonnet get get. You can flip even a full metal bonnet at 50mph if you have the catch/latch off. If the latch is popped then there is not much difference in speed to get a metal bonnet flipped against a cf ones flipped The main reason a lot of carbon bonnets flip up are people don't bother with the safety catch - many don't come with the attachment for me (a bit of a joke really) I 'think' all pro-comp ones came with all the fixings. I don't know of anyone who has flipped a carbon bonnet who has attached the safety catch (yet I know of one metal one that broke the catch), in the SSC that is - think around 15 peoples have flipped open, some just fg instead of cf [/quote]
