Hello all

Need some pics of how to mount a bug eye bonnet . the kit ive got has no hinge mounts at all and looks to have had hinges mounted on the outside ? any pics would be a great help

Thanks Jim

I've got a one piece bugeye kit on mine, where I trimmed the side sheet metal (in front of the doors) i left enough for 2 Zeus fasteners on each side, but in the front i drilled 2 holes (one on each side at the bottom of the front end, and at the bottom of the body) ran a bolt through the bugeye and through the body, secured it with a nyloc nut so it tilts open.

If you look closely you can see the 2 Zeus fasteners

Under the turn indicator is where I have the pivot point (this was before I put the nylocs on it, so the bolt came out)
