ok guys i need you too keep an eye and ear out for me. im looking for the plate that fit in the bonnet that hold the hinges onto the bonnet. if someone know of a bonnet that is so past being repaired and wouldnt mind donating me this great device or for a very small fortune as this would be worth nothing to anyone then let me know. if i can get one it saves me having to purcahse a bonnet for a rediulous price as i only need one small thing from it. the problem with mine is that one of the bolt holes has its thread wrecked. prefer south of the river but will go north as long as your not up in woop woop cheers daniel

Will find out if my mates one is salvageable from his wreck. Not too sure what you are talking about but will have a look!! Stevie.

where the hinges bolt onto the bonnet there is a cavity where a plate hides and i what that plate. the bonnet can be as smashed up as possible the more worthless the bonnet the better.

why dont u try tapping the thread?? (recutting it)

dont have the tools for it.

given up on this may have to get a whole new bonnet made up unless i can use just the one gas strut with out bending the bonnet when closing it. anyone know of somebody who can re thread holes? or anyone who has a re threader thingy and knows how to do it.

hay daniel iv got a bonnet u can rip to bits if u want

i can get you a tap, no worries to tap out the hole, is it the same size as sedans i take it, might have to put a different bolt in there though, because i should be able to get hold of imperial helicoils (replacement insert thread), where i think out cars will be metric.. let me know anyways have u tryed a wreckers ( even that one u take your own tools, which i think is sor) they should let u have one , just pull it out (the probably wont even know what it is)

yep, maybe try 'pick a part' in kenwick

yeah but i got stevie and his mate to look at getting this thing out but he says its more trouble than what its worth. the hole is the same size. what i want to do is to be able to use a ball joint in this whole so maybe if i use some plumbing tape that might fill in the gaps once i have tapped it.? what do you guys reckon

u wont be able to take to much out of it ay.

yeah i know it sux

yeah, really would be best to find someone with a tap and die set if i had one, id let u borrow it, but i dont have one Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if u tell me what size tap u want i can get it from work.. so tell us if u need one

i have no idea what size but it will be the same size as what yours would be on your bonnet.

i just checked mine, and think its a 8mm, ill e able to get you one on friday (i finish at one) cos im having tomorrow off cos its ment to be 38 ... think the beach will be the place to be... if you interested in it ont friday pm me and ill give u my number.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im pretty sure its a half inch isnt it. ay if u get stuck give us a yell, as i said i got a spare bonnet u can reck

im going to take the bolt out when im at work and match it up anyways...

its all fixed now.... Dan did that chamois go good or what :P Its HUGE u can wear it as a skirt... if ur feeling like pete for a day :P hehe

HAHAHA yeah chamois is sweet as and soaks up liquid like a whore that doesnt spit. yeah i was going to wear it like a turbin to keep my noggin cool from the summer heat Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
