stupra Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi steve, don't know if it can be done, but i'd like to know aswell, having bonnet pins is whats putting me off buying a new bonnet. Hopefully someone will give you an me an answer we like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 im no expert, but i seem to remember dude just using the same mechanism as the stock bonnetand transfering it over. it can definately be done anyway, mine has normal catch on trd Bonnet.

supra steveo Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 anyone got any pictures of the underside of the bonnet, a TRD one or any carbon fiber bonnet with the catches fitted ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gzaerojon Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 the squares look like they are in the same place as the stock catches, are you sure there isn't a pair of plates with the bonnet that just bolt/screw on? i'm thinking of a square plat with a loop welded to it??
