Littler Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi, Does anyone know what sizes the bolts for the bonnet catches are? It's locked up for the winter so I'm hoping someone may know and it will save me having to getting it out. I'm looking at altering the catches so they are lower down but as they have centering bolts I would like to know the size of them so I can get standard bolts. Also has anyone gave what I'm wanting to do a try?? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Have you tried turning the rubber adjusters on either end of the bonnet to lower it a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yep I've adjusted them and it's helped a little, the catches definitely need lowering as the bonnet locks fine but at the front it looks raised very slightly. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 are you on about the standard latch, or aerocatches/bonnet pins? i have aero catches on mine that the guy who owned it before put in, but he put them above the lights, and i have the same problem. bonnet very slightly raised at the front. im thinking of getting more aerocatches and putting them between the lights, as that should solve my problem. other than that, not sure really. hope this may help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr two Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi Adam....I have the same problem,,popped a similar question to yours on here in the technical section very recently. Mine looks very slightly raised on the nearside only.Yes,it would seem that we have to change the bolts to non-tapered ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Im running standard catches, it's the standard OEM bonnet and bumper. Yeh it does look like we need different bolts, have you managed to source any or know the size? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
