Hey I forgot to check this one, so I dug it up!!! My conversion is moving painfully slow. I have not been able to get a welder in to patch up the cuts I had to make in the tunnel. I need them done b4 the box can go in. It is going into the auto sparkies on friday and hopefully he will take his time so I can save enuff to get a MIG. Then it will just be a matter of getting the tailshaft (stanza)shortened, the plumbing TIGed up and taking it in for the dyno tune and compliance plates. The brakes are still a work in progress, I have it to a stage where I need to put the struts on the car and see how the brakes spin. I have tarago 10", HJ65 4 spots. I need to get a master cyl and splitter to suit, what donor car has one? I dont really mind if it has a booster or not.

The car is at a mates place on the other side of town, so I need a packed lunch just to get to it. Needless to say I dont get much time to work on it. Last thing I did was mount up the loom and fuse boxes & poke the computer plug and such thru the firewall.

Thats where I am up to,
take it easy

i would think anywheres good, theres not a hell of a lot of force lifting a bonnet and with two near the front of the bonnet it will be safe as, some of them come with panel washers that you pop rivet on to spread the load so maybe its better to get them, cause just thinking the skin on my bonnet flaps up and down at 100km/h (pretty flimsy), i spoose the closer you can get them to the supportive frame on the inside of the bonnet the better

how close is your project to completion? (ca18det isn't it?)

I have seen some 1200's with the bonnet locks on the outside & didnt take much notice. But now that most of the nose is missing on my car, I am chasing some more bonnet holddownedness. Can you just poke those locks thru the single layer of steel on the edges of the bonnet? Do you need to make some more support for it under the bonnet?

Thanks crew
