bonet pins

<< < (2/3) > >>

stuntman:
Drop the bonnet on the pins, the best way to go!

lee celtic:
I the pins in the slam panel first the put a blob of tipex on the top and closed the bonet , leaves a nice white mark to drill on .

put a small drill through from the inside then a big one from the top...

plus I got the pins off ebay for 99p :lol:

On the strengthening rib at the front of the bonnet are some holes - I lined my pins up on the top of the slam panel so they went through the holes and touched the bonnet skin, I marked the position on the slam panel and drilled and fitted the pins.  Then I just dropped the bonnet closed and drilled the dents out.  I then filed the holes to the square profile of the top of the pins and fitted the clamp bits the bonnet - 1/2 an hour max.

Only thing is, mine are , dare I say it, Britpart!  The bit that bolts to the bonnet and the up-right pins are stainless, but the actual locking pins are not and have rusted badly in about 12 months of constant use so I'd buy the best you can afford if your picky about appearance..........

oh no it is not it happend to me in my 200, i was doing well over 70 [-X and it shot up smashed my screen and folded its self round the roof and took me jumping on it to get it in to a shape resembeling a bonnet, it had to be ratchet strapped down for the rest of the journey, LandRoverKeith will tell you he saw it

Hi
I fitted these to mine, bit of a pig to fit as you have to use a couple of hole saws but look good on the disco when done and dont rust !
