Default Re: HELP! Capri Mk1 Bonnet Mounting Hardware

The side rubbers sit in the channel and are held in by expansion plastic plugs (push thru pin expands split sleeve below)....or just some small screws/nuts works just as well.

The hook gadget thingy is the safety catch in case your bonnet latch pops open when travelling at speed and stops it flying up onto your windscreen/roof .......'event' would be very oooops !

And you need that rod as seen behind the tape measure in PeterW pic above, and Pic5 from 1:04am post. Standard fitment is just a metal rod of interesting shape, that is fitted thru an eye (and bush) on the slam panel area and inserts into an L shaped slot in the bonnet above the eye (mine is RH fitment like Peters). Some people use hatchback gas struts - fit them with the gas canister end on the bonnet to keep the rod lubricated (apparently).
