Title: Wobbly bonnet
Post by: sparkgap on January 31, 2007, 07:07:48 PM
At motorway speed, my bonnet flutters up and down on the left hand side.
Does anyone know a fix or is it because the engine cover is missing?

The answer is to install bonnet pins. Most FD\'s suffer this issue, and can be worse with fibre glass bonnets.

I had a Carbon bonnet on for about a week that was the reason it came off again, I put my Stock bonnet back and it was fine again.

If its a stock bonnet check the Hinges for wear and have a look at the Loop on the bonnet (make sure its not got a Groove worn into it)
Also make sure the Two rubber Stops are still there (some times they fall off).
