My LC XU-1 is for sale. The original bonnet has a small hole in it to suit a XW type scoop. I have another bonnet off a 4dr to go with it. Does this affect originallity in the case that there is a difference?

Hi

 

Part number 2814539 is the "Panel Assembly - Hood". It is the same number for LC and LJ 6 cylinders.

 

Cheers

Thanks Bazza
I once read here that there was a difference between XU-1 bonnets and the rest so I'm chasing that lead. It could be a red herring.

Maybe you're getting mixed up with the boot lids which do have a difference?

Do tell

I thought the only difference would be the spoiler.

Well I didn't know that.

[Potta]

Hmm perhaps we should check that, first I've heard of it.

No, not mixed up. Bonnets not boots.

I agree with Bazza and jpxu1. All LC & LJ 6cyl bonnets are the same. There was no special bonnet for the XU1.

Some time back someone was selling an XU-1 boot lid for $ 400, when asked what makes in an XU-1 boot lid the reply was it had sound deadener on it ?

 

Sound deadener on all bootlids.  XU-1 lid has 3 spoiler attachment holes, and a 1 inch hole on the inner panel to allow tightening of the centre spoiler retaining stud. There are no badge pin holes.

Geez I got me wires crossed I'm getting old.

All spare part boot lids also came with the sound deadener and no holes whatsoever.
