as promised a little update
got myself a carbon bonnet from riri on here got it installed last week so after karting on the weekend i went about putting the aerocatches into the bonnet.
i managed to scuff one side as i wasnt watching what i was doing put it'll touch up
seemed to be a simple process of:
mark pins in slam panel as far in as i could go
drill holes in slam panel
put pins in slam panel
but blue tack on underside of bonnet and lower
where blue tack is indented drill a small hole through bonnet
use the hole in bonnet for crosshair line in aerocatch
stencil catch and then cut it out using special tool
remove more carbon from underneath to gain acess to bolts from aerocatch
fix aerocatch to bonnet securely
keep adjusting pins in slam panel until the bonnet correctly closes and is secure
job done
heres a couple of pics of the result:
looks really good in the flesh and is defo alot more trick then popping you bonnet from inside the car

i removed the spacers that go between the seats and the chassis and made little plates for the underside of the car so it is more solid then the little spacers the frame sat on, then i drilled the cobra sidemounts as they have limited choice so i calculated how far i coud take them down and drilled new holes

If your having a cage put in then punching holes into the chassi is fine as long as you dont go too mental, go for it.
What cage are you getting? Nice project too.

(wish i could afford safety gear :dapprove
cut and ground and smooothed down
same here
and again!
managed to go through the arch on the lower section making like a 1cm hole lol have it patched when cage goes in
dirty shot from outside the car can see the damage on my rear bumper to :quiet:
no safety gear i manage to cut myself twice due to being an impatient mofo
hehe and my ears are ringing i'll never hear that tone again :boring:
