BrUcE Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I bought a new one for my 90 and it has no places to screw in any bolts or latches, except for the spring. Could someone tell me how to attach the bolts and the latch please? Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrUcE Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 I saw that post already and it still doesn't help me. Theres no threading for any nuts and bolts except the middle spring on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark green 90 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Whats wrong with your old bonnet, Chequer plate can cover a lot and black looks ok, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Bruce, When you say new.... do you mean new... or just new to you? If you have a bonnet the same as mine (1986) (I was the original poster on the other similiar thread), you probably have 4 rectangular plates which have rubber buffer pads riveted to them. If this is the case and you want to install the safety catch you will need to remove the second one in from the right (looking from the front). Once the plate is removed the catch is held in place by 3 bolts which screw into 'nutserts' which need to be set into the bonnet. You will need to mark holes and drill accurately with the correct size drill for the nutsert. I'm at work at the mo... but I can post the part no of the nutsert if what I have said so far is appropriate to your bonnet.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 IIRC all new bonnets come "Blanded" ie no holes no nut inserts etc etc I think this because there are a number of variants and this does many of them - as such you''ll have to drill all the holes fit all the bracketry etc and bits and bobs from your old bonnet.

Dark green 90 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 If your transfering the old fittings to the new bonnet it may help to make some templates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
