Is this for the upcoming Winton track day Shane?  If you don't want to cut holes in your bonnet (yet) you can fit a more temporary form of secondary latch on the front.  The Sud is front-hinged so we don't have to, but I've seen different techniques used for rear-hinged bonnets - Sheldon's is pretty tidy, two bits of cable and a hook-latch-thingy.  Ask his advice.

The sparco bonnet pins do look pretty racey though.  Revolution Racegear has a new shop in Kensington.

yep due to timing probably use some sort of tie down. But keen to get some pins and have that " Cool Track " look on the bonnet :-)

Thanks Guys
