Have been taking off the lower brackets fixed to the body to bend them into a v shape so they actually hold the bonnet as they weren't doing due to being flat at the tops. Then front wheels off and spraying a few cans of anti stone chip black stuff to ward off flying grit to avoid dents under ali which would push through to the surface. Bought a 2t hyd jack from screwfix to lift the car as no jack anywhere and obviously no spare wheel ! Looking forward to getting another car lift as have sold my old one , so much easier to look underneath and do jobs ! Wondering about putting a removable plate over the sump plug as it looks just in line with speed humps !

I would like to scrap the bonnet stays and get his as these don't have a spring loaded clamp for the stays and if I could find somewhere to put one of his clocks but the airbags are in the way , must be a way ! I see Allon White is a stockist as well as hope to get to their Nov Breakfast meet !

You could probably sell the old bonnet stays on Steve.
Enjoy the fettling!

Enjoy the fettling! Or fettle them and find a way of having a spring clip at the top end - could do with the top half of Cains set up ! Maybe not ?

Cain is based just my side of Cambridge so he's within easy reach of a V8...although you may have to fill The Goddess up for the way back, knowing you.. Would be good to see you at Allon Whites, Cain is guest speaker and he has a new project item to talk about..
