Fitting aerocatch's???

Can anyone show me some pictures with measurements of where they fitted them?

I don't really want to but over 140 the bonnet looks like it's going to flip up, lifts so much.

Got some to fit to, so will be keeping an eye on this

Come and fit mine Steve, I really don't fancy it myself

I was gonna ask you the same when you worked it out

Not sure but this might help

Something about cutting a big hole in my own bonnet would put right off that

I followed hodges guide.

Stock bonnet is a bitch to get a clean cut on.

I'm practicing on your car Dave.

Thanks for the links guys, will have a read of them

Ive done 2 sets now, also have a set from my previous car that im toying with the idea of keeping for the supra

Not a job i enjoy doing to be fair

Feel free to come do mine. Happy to pay

Here's a page from my thread Jamie - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?275510-Kaan-s-SRD1000S-3-4-Stroked-Wide-Body-Project!/page76

There are easier places to fit them though!

Fitted mine like this

I had mine fitted on the silver supra. Was either supramatt or baldy cant remember but they did a great job

There has to be another solution surely.

Will spoil the car in my opinion as it looks loverly.

Maybe drive a bit slower

You can buy the aerocatches in white which will look more subtle on the car

I have noticed lift on mine it worried me at first but I just ignore it now. I think aero catches suit certain cars but on a stock bonnet /stock looking car it just does not look right . For peace of mind I replaced the whole latch/cable assembly with new Toyota parts. I did think about some sort of better safety catch maybe a clip chain, I know the bonnet would still bend being alloy but cheaper than it hitting the windscreen and roof.

Check this bonnet lift at 0.35 on

I followed hodges guide too.

It's really easy, just make sure you have a dremmel with decent cutting discs handy. Took me about an hour to cut the holes.

All I will say is check check and check another five times before you cut. I scrapped a bonnet because I got it a bit wrong and nothing lined up

There has to be another solution surely.

I think it can make the car look better sometimes to be honest, this was mine after having them fitted:

Get the bonnet louved like mine mate nice and suttle and pulls all the heat from under it out plus releases the pressure build up,

It was Simon that did yours mate I was to busy, I fitted supradibbs on his doluck bonnet

We had aerocatchers fitted to dads car due to the bonnet lifting on the N/S at 80+mph. Its alot better know and would highly recommend it to anyone having the same problem.

did my mates on his RX7 with a dremel and a carbide bit he borrowed from work

never again, just take them to a body shop, they were a right pain in the arse.

but, tips:

Mask up the area + a good few inches incase of slippage

template them up and mark in place with a sharpie (template included)

drill holes around the edge of the cut and join up using a dremel and strong bit

file smooth

be aware that you'll often be cutting through 2-3 skins of bonnet so it will take a while, took me hours and hours but then again, I'm not a bodyshop guy
