bonnet vent

[Matt Finary]

I brought a bonnet vent, how do i fit it?
Is a case of cutting a hole in the bonnet and the fibreglassing the vent to the bonnet because it has no fixings.

Thanks

a good person to ask is Red Devil, his name is chris and he's just put a Evo bonnet vent on, doing all the work himself, any questions, ask him, im sure he'd be nice enough to help you, he's on holiday at the mo but i think he comes back 2day.

What vent is it?

Basically you need to cut a hole in the bonnet, but only in the outer skin (if you cut all the way through the support underneath it'll flex like f u c k and you'll get cracks in no time), fiberglass it in from underneath, a bit of filler on top, smooth the hole thing down and paint.

I'm sure ade will pop in any moment now to fill in any necessary details.

secure it in place first with a PU seam sealer then fibreglas both sides of it, grind the fibreglass to shape and finally smooth the top with filler.

If i mark round the vent, how near should i cut to the mark or should I cut a round it and recess it in to the bonnet skin? what make of the fibreglass do you use apples? i use P40 and P38 that is because i get them in 2.25litre tins at cost price.

keep the hole as small as possible.
get your fibreglass and filler from a professional bodyshop supplier, ive heard bad reports on the likes of isopons p38 etc.
