I was busy in the garage this afternoon, making up some bonnet stays like Robins. I've poached the rivnut bearing idea attached to the side bonnet panel, but have my own twist on the stay clips when they're stowed.
The drivers side one had to be cranked to clear the master cylinder.
The stay clip is a brass 50mm cupboard catch, which is a perfect fit for the 6mm round bar I used for the stays. The catch has two spring loaded ball bearings that spring in and out when you clip the stay in.
The other side has a straight stay, but is mounted to the plate that holds up the AFM, as I couldn't get to the bonnet panel due to the long mounting bar.
Both stays are different lengths, due to the locations on each side, but I've tried to make both sides open the respective bonnet side to the same angle... I think it's pretty even. If you squint.
I've taken them all off and have sprayed all the parts with chassis black, and I'm going to add some heatshrink to the tops of the stays to stop the paint from flaking off in the clips.
