Rubbing Bonnet

[paulj]

Has anyone had any problems with the front corner of the bonnet rubbing on the top corner of the airbox ( at the front where the air filter sits ) ?

Went on some pretty bumpy roads at the weekend so that may have caused it ?

Do i need to get my bonnet adjusted ? - if so where are the adjusters..?

No real adjustment on these bonnets, but it sounds like you have some play in the rose joint hinges at the front, which in some cases can even be the glass fibre cracked around them causing excess movement.
Open bonnet and put onto bonnet stay, then carefully get hold of front of the bonnet on each corner and move carefully to see if u have 'play' in said hinge. A while back, someone posted some pics and a description of how they 'fixed' their hinges using a home made bracket and some extra glass fibre....try the search function, it may still be amongst that!

Editted to add that I found this topic, but sadly not the one i was refering to...hope this may help.. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

You might be able to relocate the mountings on the airboxes and drop them down a bit.
