open the bonnet and remove the catch on the slam panel (2 bolts) fit the new catch in its place

run cable from this catch around the engine bay into the car

fix bracket under dash and mount pull

check it works

job done

Im my experience, keep the grille off if possible ;) as if the catch feels like being annoying, then the bonnet wont open and the screws at the top wont come off when the bonnets closed!

I think you're going to have to drill a hole through the bulkhead for the cable though?
