I just got back in from the garage. Inspired by the discussion, I have just fitted my bonnet belt.

Then I sat and looked at it for 5 minutes, decided I didn't like it, and removed it.

So I can put the belt back in the spares department. Who knows, in another 10 years I might have changed my mind!
