Bonnet raisers

[lil_rascal]

Alright everyone :) quick question, how hard is it to fit bonnet raisers?? A quick guide would be kool thanks :)

[Bedford126]

pretty easy to fit just takes time to adjust the bonnet so it fits correct with a even gap all around. buy a decent set though as one of my mates got some and they were just really thick washers and the bonnet moved around on them.

You do mean raisers and not lifters to hold the bonnet up eh?

Where the back of the bonnet it slightly lifted, thought they were could bonnet raisers???

[Bedford126]

yh your right mate they are called raisers. and just get a decent set and you will be fine.

[lil_rascal]

Where from eBay??

[Bedford126]

anywhere not really in fashion now so you mite struggle to find some you mite have to get some made.

[lil_rascal]

Ok mate thanks for your help :)

[lil_rascal]

How do i know they are a good set??

[Bedford126]

will be a full aluminium plate and not just somthing that looks like a few washers stuck together.

[lil_rascal]

Ok mate, you've been great help thanks :D

[Bedford126]

no probs. if you cant find any you could always make some out of 2 peices of aluminium and a saw and a drill just get some longer bolts and washers from b&q mate.

oh n u should have two bolts either side of the bonnet, at the top near the window, unbolt both bolts, lift the bonn
et up n slide the raiser n washer into place then use the new bolt n put it in n secure it.

then repeat for the next 3 n u have a raised bonnet :D
