Hi mate. As per our conversation lthe other night. I have ordered a set of these and thought you might want to take a look. They are better than the normal ones as they fit flush and have the added feature of security.

 

Have a look here

I need to see them fitted too Mark.

Sorry Ian. My appologies mate. I totally forgot to post the picture. This is as far as I have got so far but its fitted without the backing washer as I think they are a bit big. I am not sure but I might try one to see. I like the look of just the lock fitted?

 

I havent had much time to set the lock base up yet.

 

Again sorry for the long wait.

No problem Vin they are not as big as I thought they would be,I would say just what I am looking for. cheers mate.

That incase anyone tries to steal the engine? hehe ;)

The backing washer/plate will make the overal size quite large twice the size and I thought it would just become the most eye catching feature and I didnt want that? So I drilled the hole to the exact size of the lock barrel and put it in alone as it has a lip of about 7-8mm. The biggest problem is the angle of the lock base. It needs a fair bit of calculating before you drill the holes mate. So be careful with that lovely bonnet of yours before you start making holes. LOL.

No Si :smash: . The reason I put them on is because the bonnet has a bit of a raise at the very front of it and I was worried that at speed it might lift as its only Fibreglass I thought it might give way and flap up over the windsrceen and we dont wanna do that do we. :cool:

Ya know I'm only messin. ;)

 

Didn't realise you'd fitted a new bonnet. Like the 2 tone paint you've done. :)

:rofl:

Thanks mate. I have noticed that a lot more people turn to take a gander at the car since I have done the two tone thing. I am pleased with it too. just a few more niggly bits to do and it should be ready for paint. Same colour scheme but with a brighter more candy like red on the bottom. :cool:

Was just thinking that the lock barrel would interfere with you Rely box??

I will lift the bonnet tomorrow Mark take a picture and show where it goes mate. :cool:
