Hi was just fixing some of the bits back on and I'm amazed as to the change each little bit adds.

The scoop is attached using "button heads" in stainless steel. They are available at most bolt/nut shops.

I drilled the scoop at the required intervals and then placed it on the bonnet. I marked the four corners and drilled them. I then fitted the scoop and drilled the rest - in place.

All of this was prior to painting. If you check my gallery photos out you can see the Cobra in the Gel coat with everything together.



I drove it for six months like this over 16,000 k. Dirt roads and all.

After painting I just ran a drill through all the holes to get all the stainless button heads back in. I used nylocks to hold the
"button heads" in. Don't tighten them, just pull them up or you will 'star' the paint.

I used the same "button heads" around the bonnet edge and up in line with the front of the scoop. This lot are ornamental.

Will try and catch up in Adelaide at one of the meetings soon.



Cheers

Bernie
