Where do i cut my bonnet hole??????

Gday folks, i was wondering if anybony can post some photos of where they have cut their hole in their VB-VH bonnet in order to fit a reverse cowl scoop. I dont want to cut through the bracing and was looking for ideas. Steve

I saw a photo the other day, I think it was on ebay. The guy cut out the bonnet either side of the centre brace. So there were two neat holes under the reverse scoop. Damn it now I am going to have to find that pic and post it up...

Nope it was on Car sales. See link above. Am I allowed to post a link? Look at the picture of his engine bay, you can see the two cut outs I was talking about.

Looked like a neat job.

you can cut anywhere you want. that brace is only glued on to the bottom of the bonnet:












just cut where you want till you get near the brace, then get a screwdriver to pop the brace off the bonnet skin, then cut till your hearts content.

Thanks for the info gents, i'll have to have a hunt around for a bonnet similar to the one in your photos as mine has another reinforcing plate with circles pressed into it on the right.
