Hi, was looking at jims mini and noticed the top part of his front panel removes, how can you do this without removing strength? I was thinking make some flaps on the ends of each edge, and dril holes in those and the front panel part for bolts, but it is a main structual beam?

The peice of metal which I removed is so weak I can't see it doing much apart from giving the grill something to screw to, and something for the bonnet catch to latch on to On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:
