I finally got my bonnet lifters from Supernovas. Arrived a bit late due to incorrect info :roll:

The chap I spoke to said I had to ring them once I got delivery, so they could send me an email of the fitting instructions as none came in the box.

Has anyone got the fitting insturctions already? The lifters are made by INXX, model number 40016.

Many thanx :thumb:

the screw is placed on a original point, remove 1 original screw, and screw this 1 in.

Mayhem, how does the bonnet sit when its shut?

I've got some lifters from Bottlethroddy but I'm not sure about fitting them as most of the ones I've seen push the back of the bonnet up when its closed...

Most of them do jack, they push the back of the bonnet up slightly cos theyre so powerful!

on my previous bonnet it did,the back of the bonnet scraped on that thing where youre wipers on (don't know the englisch word, ?parafan?) after al little accident i placed a different bonnet, now is closes like it should.
i adjusted the bonnet a lillte bit forward, and removed the rubber on the side, and it closes correctly.
