I had a bonnet on a XB falcon let go at 80 kph on a logging road, through a cutting it completely flew off, ripped the hinge bolts out of the bonnet and did a couple of somersaults as it flew over the car and landed. I was taking an elderly mountain lady into Tumut for her shopping. We drove around town with out a bonnet got the locals staring.
Who was that man with the Vic plates driving in town without a bonnet:angel:
Same thing happened to me on thursday morning. I was only doing 80km when a truck passed me going the other way. The blast of air was enough to pop the bonnet open. Luckily the catch stopped it flying completely open. Nearly had a heart attack. Always thought the latch was a bit dodgy. I will be putting in bonnet pins. Not having that happen again.
Have you tried the $$$South$$$ yet? :angel:Quote:

I have a good healthy ewe and some bottles of rum to trade. :D
Hmmm! chops and drinkies.
Give me a PM and your problems solved and fate sealed. :twisted:
Maybe we can look at some meet from escapee's from the other side.

My would always float up and down at the corners so I fitted aerocatches. No more messing about with the daft handle in the footwell.

Im wrecking a D1 gradually ATM, If the hinges for that are still ok They're yours for the asking but They're white.
Cheers for the help guys, latest update is I took it off, jumped on it a voila! Looks ok but the frame is bent, anyway the bonnet is now jammed shut and will require a crowbar no doubt to open it :o
Not sure if the hinges are bent, they look fine, but well see.
That is an awesome photo!!!Quote:
