Piece of cake did it on my LC Xu1 over 25 yrs.
Just got one off kingswood.
Then I cut off lug that comes through grill.
If you don't do that no point.

In the 70's if the bonnet was lockable there was a discount available on insurance.

This was a device that when combined with an internal cable pull provided a secure locking system.

However there was also an additional piece Z shaped that bolted on over the sliding lever where the cable attached that prevented access it from being tampered with.
