[S pack]

Need to sort out the bonnet hinges on my track LJ. Sticks up at the back about 20mm, scrutineers not happy.

Couple of questions please - 

 

1 Why the hell doesn't the rear of the bonnet lower down, when you lower the hinges?

 

2. The refurb service by Speedex?...ok? price and turnaround?

 

3. Rares / Resto County ones OK quality?

 

4. Are LC/LJ same a Kingswood?

 

Thanks.

Col, try raising the front of the hinges to lower the rear of the bonnet.

S pack hi that is correct, as i stated earlier, its easier to slightly undo the hinge bolts and lift the bonnet as high as possible, u will find that the rear of bonnet will sit lower than the guards, u have to play with it a few times until its level,

I bought a reconditioned set from AA Vinnies in Vic, these have to be the best LC/LJ bonnet hinges I've felt. The alignment is good and they have no slop. Just make sure that you lube them as they will be stiff when you get them.

Ta Maz.. understand.
I elongated the holes in the hinges themselves.
