I have just bought a new set of 6mm Stainless Steel Bonnet props via Ebay, but before fitting them I am looking to make a couple of modifications. The hinge mechanism looks fine.
1. The outer ends are just fitted with rubber caps - I am thinking that Rubber Suckers such as used on Toy Arrows in the past, would hold them to the inside of the bonnet without any risk to paint or of slipping away if the wind gets up. Does anyone know where I can get some of these 'Toy Suckers'.
2. The retaining clips which hold the outer ends when the bonnet is closed are fine but are only held to the Forward Bonnet Catch Plate using double sided adhesive pads which are unlikely to be durable over time with the under bonnet heat. Are there any better fixings I could use that do not require drilling holes (I will drill if I have to)?
