Are they in a kit form, or need to be made by myself? (If so how would I make them)

What about water getting into the engine bay?

I assume they work with locking bonnets..

Thanks for any help.

you dont need anything,

where the two studs from the bonet hinge go through the bonnet, just set the rear one out side of the hole seting against the bonnet and tighten the nut up so it grips the edge.

you wil alsol need to bend the bracket on the bonnet with the spring that goes into the front pannel so it latches.

I was thinking a bit of plate metal with 4 holes, to space the gap between bracket and bonnet, if you get me

Yeah, that's what I was going to do, but I think the way mini13 says to do it seems an easy, and free modification!

Ill take a picture tomorrow if anyone who wants to see it done?

The reason ive done it, is because my bonnet doesnt fit properly, and it used to randomly pop up after id shut it :shifty:
