dark-ryder Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 i think you just need to change the holes you bolt it into i think if you move the down one it will sit flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboyclub Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 when i fitted my brothers i fitted the bracket to the bonnet hinge and the bolt to the wing overlap and his closes perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST170 Dan Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 id try movin it down so the lifter is at less of an angle, if that makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard101sco Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Mine did the same, not great way but I dropped my bonnet from a fair height which sorted whatever the problem was lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Mines the other way around Triangle plate at the top and bolted thru the wing lig, it closes fine and isn't stuck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevjns Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Mines the other way around Triangle plate at the top and bolted thru the wing lig, it closes fine and isn't stuck up. well ive tried eavery way i can mounted the triangles on the top and it still wont close its hitting the ball on the wing im stumped why give out instructions to drill your wing if they wont close the nooobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboyclub Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 when you mounted the bracket at the top did you have the ball up the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 What about putting a little spacer block, or some washers to space the mounting bracket a little lower below the lip of the wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Here is the way mine are fitted. Not perfect pictures but you get the idea. And they don't catch or make the bonnet sit up. Edited August 19, 2007 by Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
