1980 + 8 As far as I'm aware there isn't any hardware required. You just put the end of the belt between the wing and the little buffer jobbie that sits between the two bonnet catches. Obvs you'd need to drill a hole in the end of the belt to bolt through. I can't illustrate that bit because my bonnet belt is at the bottom of a box at the back of the garage. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/05/06/Screenshot-2022-05-06-at-17.46.51.png)

Best mod I made to my 4/4 was taking out the knackered old 87bhp CVH engine and putting in a tuned 165bhp GM Ecotec VVTi. Or to be more accurate, paying Kevin Vernon to do it for me. Other than that I've been particularly pleased with:
- Fitting hard chrome kingpins
- SSL Front suspension
- Quaife ATB 4.1:1 Diff
- Simmonds hood
- My 3D printed coin tray and water bottle holder
- Additional LED brake light strip mounted to rear luggage rack
- Tool tray under rear shelf
- Twin piston billet front brake callipers and reaction bars
- Panhard rod and anti-tramp bars
Modifications which upon reflection were a waste of time and have now been discarded:
- Wind wings
- Subwoofer behind the driver's seat
- removing the damper blades and fitting a telescopic damper

Mine ('75 crossflow 4/4) has two little strap loops that bolt through the wing .... not yet fitted my bonnet strap and assumed the strap looped round them and fastened back on itself .... now thinking that they are just a guide to feed the strap under the bonnet snug to the wing and it then bolts to the rubber snubber bracket as described above . Bit of a light-bulb moment as I wasn't looking forward to sewing through the nice stout leather straps I'd got 🙂👍
