Apparently, I'm Wrong :[

What kind of locks are you talking about?

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

and where do you want them fitted?

Hi,
Thanks for the response,
The locks are these:


I have seen that there are 2 placements for these, one on top of the bonnet and one near the grill,
the easier way will be better for me, really don't care where its placed.


Pictures would be great if you have any :)

Thanks in advance,
Naor

Ah you mean bonnet pins?

are you keeping the hinges or is the bonnet going to be removable?

I would like to keep the hinges, the "bonnet pins" are just to keep the bonnet down on the ground (because my bonnet likes to open at 90mph).

Here's how I have done mine, you will have to mount yours more on the top if using your hinges to allow the bonnet to close.


If you look at the front corners of the bonnet.

yeah stick the bit in and give it a wobble

if you want to use the pins in the photo with the bonnet still on hinges, you are going to have to fit them up on the top of the bonnet before it curves down to the grille. There are other types of fitting you could use that would allow the bonnet to open on the hinges but i'll not go into them right now.

alternatively, you could fit external straps or springs such as these

You mount the 2 small seperate prices onto your bonnet, and the 2 springs on your front panel, then they hook over to close.

Like this mate,



simon.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

An option is to get the extra bits that allow the bonnet pins to be sunk into the bonnet. Easy on a clubby.. less on a round nose.

Crappy picture: (not finished but you get the idea)

Ive seen the round based bonnet pins on the very front used, and just the opening filed down a bit to allow the pins to slide through when theyre bolted to the top of the slam panel. If i see my mate soon ill get a pic up.

Simon,
You made my day. I had wasted 2 hours trying to figure out how to use these internally.
Now that i understand ill post a picture tomorrow :)
