I have had a few enquiries about supplying the brackets for this mod.
I have made enquiries and if the interest is high enough I can supply two precision laser cut brackets in stainless steel which can be painted if you wish or left as is, for approximately £20 including UK postage.



I would be interested Thumbs Up For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I know it's early days but I need at least 10 people to break even and make it worth doing. At present we are a little short.
If we don't reach the 10 minimum I can still do them but they will need to be more expensive so tell your friends who may not have seen the thread and lets see if we can make a few more bonnets secure..

OK guys, the break even point has been reached so the materials have been ordered. Production should start next week. I will keep all interested parties informed.
In the mean time if anyone else wants a pair of brackets it's not too late just reply to this or PM me Thumbs Up

Thanks Thumbs Up and really it's not that bad, just take a deep breath and make sure you measure and measure again before you cut, take it slowly and you will be delighted with the results, I get loads of comments about how good they look and what a good idea Wink

For anyone else who may be interested I still have a few of these brackets left Smile

Hi, I think they will as I'm pretty sure I first saw the idea on a TD5. Have a look at the thread and see if you can tell if it is a TD5. You need to have two bolts just behind the grill which are 6mm and have centers of 70mm. The advantage is that it is a single skin bonnet as opposed to the double skin on the Puma which makes fitting much easier.. he did however fit the non locking ones and put them the other way round to me.
