Planning to use dzus fastners to hold it down .
Looking well!
Maybe it's fine but I wouldn't fancy keeping the bonnet down on some small coiled wire and rivets.
Im using the weld on mounts pal welded to the wings .
If there good enough for pro mod there good enough for me ;)
All good I was picturing the little springs rivetted to the slam panel!
Weighed the bonnet after attacking it?
No mate using 10 fastners all the way round it and na i was going to weigh if before and after but couldnt find the scales amongst all the sh1t in the garage from doing the build .
Not sure our lass would find it funny if i used the baking ones lol.
It weighs nothing though far lighter than a grp one . Oviusly not as rigid but will do the job i need it to.
Started fitting a few of the high tensile cap head bolts . Bought every bolt for the car the same just different sizes.

Nice project you got goin on there what size pipe you got for your side exit I'm looking at a 3" an any issues routing it
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3be365c5ff.jpg
I can't believe I missed this, been looking for a way to tidy up the studding on my rose jointed gear linkage!! Top idea!!
My exhaust with xe fitted was 2.5" but now i have a 3" version mate for the let motor . no problem routing it . i went under the tie bar last time but with the front legs gone now it has allowed me to go over the top of it.
And yes the shrink tubing is a great idea much better than black tape ect
Thanks mate any new pics of it fitted yet
