Colby uses a curved alloy plate at the sides of the body that go down to the
top of the rocker, and dzus fasteners hold the bonnet to thos pieces...

Subject: dzus fasteners for bonnet
Has anyone else out there with a forward tilting bonnet on their bugeye used
Dzus fasteners to hold down the bonnet? Do they work out well?
I don't like the big bulky looking rubber strap/knob things or the straps,
and
I really don't want to rig up a hidden latch and cable. It looks like a
3/4"
Dzus at the back edge of the bonnet could attach to a plate replacing the
rear
rubber bonnet buffer and do a good job without looking too obvious. The
next
owner(after I'm cold dead) would have just a 3/8" hole to weld shut.
Better (easier) suggestions?
Glen
