Hinged Bonnet...

[tu51john]

Did anyone ever get round to geting this done? There was a thread a while ago with some excellent pictures of a couple of different approaches which generated quite some interest - but it seems to have tailed off.

I know Surface and Design are looking to do it ( if not already ) but I haven't got £700 to spare at the moment.

Has anyone else had a go? If anyone has any pictures and diagrams I was going to have a go myself. I just need some help.... and a few dimensions.

The cats might think its a hoot having something new in the Conservatory but its only a matter of time before I scratch it.

In hopeful anticipation. :}

Mine is a MK2 and obviously the front grill is different http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

I'll e-mail Peter Bremms hinge dimensions, but the fibreglass does need building up where they attach.

Really enjoying the benefit of it, especially after my PAS relay went yesterday..piece of cake to replace it now... only trouble was my spare went aswell Running on a 3rd at present... Bloody Citroens.

Keith have fitted an up-rated one (60 amps instead of 45 amps) this is available from Renault part No is 8200253922, although you have to remove the relay internals from this and fit them into the water resistant case.

OP sorry to go OT.

Cheers for that Nick, I thought it was just my car. I guess the pump draws too much current when it starts up, fuel pump primes OK and is on the same circuit. I will investigate uprating aswell.... or go on a body building course

Sorry to hijack your thread John but thats been very useful.

Have a look at my treads. Cost about £65 to do, most of which was the gas struts.
