Default URGENT HELP NEEDED: RE: BONNET PINS

Helping Ben pin the rear of his f/glass bonnet (MK2 Mex), got Sparco bonnet pins but they don't seem long enough - are there different lengths of bonnet pins available?
Cheers,
Nick and Ben!

Easy enough to make the length longer. just a threaded rod and the end welded on to whatever length you need. PM if you need anything made liek this.
