Front Bonnet Hinge Repalcement



With March coming to a close I thought I would fit the front bonnet hinges that Clive Richardson donated last weekend at the Volsworld meeting.

Removing them was easy and I wasn't surprised to see that they were quite badly damaged and the cause of the poor fitting front bonnet.

You can see where the original one is bent and distorted as a result of the front end damage that the car suffered in an accident and also how it differs from the later one which has a re-enforcement plate fixed from side to side.

The bonnet has yet to go on but I am hopeful it will sit better with the new hinges in place.
