Securing The Hood & New Adjustable Strut Tops
Posted on Dec 01, 2022
Securing The Hood
As we are using motorsport hood pins from Sparco we won’t be needing the OE bump stops so we also won’t be needing this bit of metal were they live. We cut them off and tidied up the area. Looks much neater and very Group B now.
Adjustable Strut Tops
We were never quite confident in the no-name strut tops that came with the car originally so we bit the bullet and order some proper adjustable versions from CompBrake in England.
But first we had to weld up the holes our previous ones required.
Front is eccentric so has camber and castor adjustment.
Rear is non-adjustable be we could have used the front ones here too.
