I suspect they make all the bonnets the same, regardless of the type of catch/fastener on the order, then just pop-rivet in a washer if the Dzus fastener is not to be used. Seems like they could have a process to not punch the holes if not needed, or at least paint the rivets, but apparently not.


I would guess that as the body is outsourced and manufactured produced prior to it being assigned to a build spec, the holes for the dzus fixings will always be put in. Yes they could touch them in, but I can't say that it bothers me on mine.


Suspect you're correct. Certainly none of the issues are major, nor do any of them bother me all that much (except the speedo error), but I do find myself having to answer "why is it like that?" questions from folks looking at it...
