hi!

yes as mentioned, i used aerocatches. if you look at my pictures on the website you can see them fitted to the car and also some of the process of fitting them. i did however have to modify the pins and the catches slightly as the original aerocatch the pin only comes in from underneath at 90 degrees to the catch and i needed it to come in from the side. i just cut away part of the back of the catch and filed a little off of the pin to make it thin enough to mate with the catch. if you need some pictures, i'll try and get some more!
