Hey guys im just about upto the part of my build were im putting the car back together. Everythings hidden apart from the bonnet cable. How have you guys hidden it?

i think most people re locate it, not sure were though.

use something like the boot release soliniod... i was going to do that for my project.. push of the button and the bonnet releases, less the cable

Thats a sik idea im gonna do that cheers.

Thats alright mate hopefully someone can live out my ideas Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha ill just make sure i make a mention that it was your idea.. And when the cops ask me to pop the bonnet i can say i cant the bonnet cables snapped lol and they can pull as hard as they want on that bonnet pull and it wont matter .......Just hope they dont look under the car and see the glide lol

I could even Put the button on a bracket behind the bonnet pull so when you pull the switch it contacts the button and the bonnet opens.

I relocated my bonnet latch under neath the front gaurd connect to the brace that supports the front bumper....trust me I would rather get a canary for a bonnet not popping up then a epa notice stating that you have to take everything back to stock!!!

Gotta love Wa were so slow we dont have EPA yet .

Just dont go electric, what happens when your battery goes flat? Then your fucked.

Batterys in the boot

i wouldnt think the boot release solonoid would be strong enough to open the bonnet, and u wouldnt want to have less tension on the spring as the bonnet may open when hitting bumps..

very smart telling every1 when cops read these forums not smart

Any other ideas guys xbt106 do you have pics of your setup? Did you have to get a longer cable? Where does it run?

technically speaking u cant be canaried for ur bonnet not opening. it has to be able to close and stay closed, but theres nothing saying it has to be openable... and its all written from a safety perspective Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yes but the cop would give you an EPA on the spot just to make sure you don't get away with anything.. i'd rather run the risk and lift the bonnet for him, at least i'm not trying to be a decietful little **** in his eyes then..

It must be able to open to allow for access to the battery in the event of an crash/fire/emergency. (*here in SA anyway. I cant see any reason why victoria would be any different, then again, you are victorian... ) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
