Can anyone tell me how my bonnet stay should go? When I got the car it looked like a wonky corkscrew. I straightened it out best I could and now it fouls on the expansion bottle and the air flow sensor plug. Still waiting for my Bible which I ordered before Xmas. Many thanks CRAIG.

Yeh mine used to rest on the exp tank etc so I relocated it to the boot.

Now I'm making my own which will be also live in the boot but when in use will run vertically between the centre of the top chassis rail behind the expansion tank and the centre of the bonnet rail.
