Chris,

There's a fitting guide I did starting page 3 of this thread. Some of the photos are gone but the gist is still there. If you do commit and need any more info just drop me a 'pm.'

K9F,
Thanks for the link, very informative, It's a lot more work than I thought but a great looking job at the end of it, interesting what You say about the weight of the bonnet after its been CP'd, I had thought of taking it off to do the job, I was thinking, bit of ally sheet cant weigh that much

Thanks again,

As you already have the wingtop chequerplate fitted there is no real need to take the bonnet off. It is easier to get access to both sides when tightening the 28 bolts with the bonnet fitted rather than on the ground or a workbench. Give yourself a fair few hours to fit. Once fitted if you do remove the bonnet it is a two man lift to refit the bonnet I would say. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
