rs turbo bonnet vents fitted :D to a standard bonnet

vents from ebay
Image
these are the tools needed, drill, jigsaw, sanding dremel bits, masking tape, marker pen, also used a grinder/slit disc when making the brackets, small piece 20 gauge steel.
Image
Image
marked out a template in cardboard (slightly smaller than the vent)
Image
marked the under side of the bonnet then drilled 4 holes in the corners
Image
put masking tape on the outside of the bonnet
Image
put the template on in place marked by the 4 holes, draw round it
Image
Image
cut it out with the jigsaw
Image
Image
trial fit then mark out areas that need trimming, trim where mounting screws fit too
Image
Image
now for the way to hold them in, i made some brackets
Image
Image
Image
job finished just need painting
Image
Image
i know they dont fit exactally like rs turbos because they are sat on the bonnet and not recessed but i like them :lol: :lol:
