I was wondering if anyone could help me. My bonnet blew up and has damaged scuttle panel. And also bent the bonnet hinges. Anyway I need help does anyone know how to remove the hinge itself from the bracket on bulk head.? Even pics of hinges would help....

Went my bonnet came up on the motorway i drilled the large hard to get to rivet out that holds both parts of the hinge together.
As the one on the car was ok. I then got the hinge part that bolts to the bonnet from Vauxhall direct.

It's tricky as the join it tucked right up in the scuttle, but with a mirror it can be done.
I then nut and bolted it back together.
