Mine





Martin's old one before it left him for a breif affair with chirs' cup!


Basically as long as its held down really tight, and has a rigid lip on the front edge it should pose no problems.

Beast!!! stew!!

Any with the bonnet open to see where you have placed your pins ...how did you line up the holes on the bonnet

[stew]

nope, but can get some.

basically, fitted the front pins in the front just infront of the seal, in that bit of metal. the rear ones are in the scuttle, just right at the edge to make sure they are into the metal.

fit the underneath bit first (the pin if you like), then place the bonnet on, and try and mark where the catches need to go. then after a little fettling it should sit ok.

prob well difficult to get it spot on.

providing my rad in the way..i plan to have two sticking out front-wards from like either said of the renault badge (nearer the edges obviously), and two towards the rear as above.

Soon non-flush bonnet pins will be illegal. Look to somewhere like Abbey Motorsport for ones that are flush plastic and look a lot better than metal pins ever have.
