Has anyone got any pictures off their removable front end with hidden fixings? Mine is going to be metal if that changes anything?

I've seen a few that have been done well.
Best I saw was someone who fitted brackets inside the apanel wing seam then had rivnuts along the winner wings and the alloy front teardrop mounts to hold it at the front. There was no way at a glance you could tell it had been done but I think theirs was a permanent removable front if that make sense.

You will be making your own really.

Use standard pear drops on the front then weld something to the a panels to hold the rear of the wings in place.

Or you could have bits slotting under the skuttle panel......

pretty much how I've done mine, pear drops at the front then welded tabs down the a panels and the wings to bolt through to each other. Also got a couple of fixings inside the bonnet channel into whats left of the inner wings.
