In process of fitting my bonnet for front tilt. Used all existing holes as
didn't want to cut up car or weld on, made a formica template for hole
alignment, made steel brackets, mounted with three bolts per side (one is
hinge bolt). Removed rear hinges, and am looking at either fitting a TR6
style latch in a box to be mounted where hinge used to be on firewall with
interior hood release. Even better, look at the latching mechanism on an XJ-
S. It appears that would be the "Cat's Meow" (pun) as it latches both sides,
no cutting, just bolt latch pins onto the rear bonnet support and the latching
mechanism onto the firewall...this setup is too cool...Will let you know how
it's going.
