What Size Washers To Usr For Raised Bonnet Look

[evil_weevil]

A hoy hoy,

For those who have raised the rear of the bonnet by putting in the washers etc - what size washers did you use, where did you get them from, and how many do you need?

Cheers!

Isn't that illegal?

hope you like having increased temps. Because that's all you're going to get out of this excersise.....

It does not help vent hot air out, it actually forces air back in, and doesnt allow hot air to escape.

Cheers guys.....but yeah, question still hasn't been answered

a much less ghetto-spec thing to do (if you have to do it at all) is just to get some aluminium pipe with an I.D similar to the (longer) hinge bolts, and cut two pieces to the length you want, and install it with a washer underneath the bonnet mounting points.

just make sure the cuts are flush, mmmkay!

I think i just have about a 10mm nut in there... one thats the same thread etc.. just not too high, not too low...

Just use Exhaust Manifold washers. Two of those and a longer bolt, you will have a nice raised look

Chris,

Dont forget to check your bolt length once you put these spacers in, you want enough thread in the holes.

also you should remove the rubber seal from accross the plastic shroud in that area to increase the area letting air in/out.

-im with drift pig, but yeah you can only try it out and see if it works for you.

Cheers guys,

Yeah my bolt is only like 10 - 12mm long?

Too much hassle me thinks - I'll just borrow Doof's vented bonnet for track days

Yeah, you will need to get longer bolts... mine are bout half inch longer or so...

i was contemplating buying another bonnet to cut up myself... Fricggen SII so expensive
