Bonnet Spacer?

[regor]

hey guys and girls

first off sorry if this in the wrong section

i have done a rb conversion in my s13..

and it hits the bonnet...

i have been told to use bonnet spacers..

what are they... they go in between the bonnet and the hinges dont they ?..

could i just use washers?..and are they leagle

or is there anotther way i can do it.. (aka diffrent engine mounts... cut the ribbing in the bonnet)

i posted on niss silv and got reemed..

any helpfull help would perfect thanks..

cheers roger

if you are worried about legalities - dont cut the reinforcements

yes you can use washers to space the bonnet up at the rear- but remember to get longer M6 bolts to match the spacers

cannot comment on the engine mounts option, it is possible to use others/mod yours but it may not be viable depending on crossmember clearance, ground clearance and drive train alignment - do some more google searching there is sure to be a few guides

usually easier to get a non hicas PS pump, failing that there is a walkthrough for the R32 to remove hicas and replumb the lines etc
