The 'E' Type Forum

Hi All...picked this up from the Jag Lovers forum....thought its worth adding to the wealth of knowledge already on here......Bonnet gap too big and cant adjust it out...then just for you....extended hinges ......Steve http://classicjaguar.com/cjparts/hinge.php

They look very nice Steve, but being pedantic are they not "shortened" hinges rather than "extended"?

Ok just for Simon...if your bonnet gap is to big these could help... .

Thumbs up for CJ, I needed theses hinges to get my bonnet gap spot on. Great quality, very helpful and swift delivery.

Hello All,
These hinges have their purpose, but aren't a panacea for all bonnet gap woes. The OP of the Thread in the JL Forum would have had further problems down the track had he gone the modified hinge route and not sought and remedied the actual cause of his excessive bonnet gap.

Regards,

Bill

As the op of the thread in question I can second Bill’s comment. Thanks to his advice I was able to correct the problem without resorting to an expensive set of new modified hinges or the difficult task of welding extra material to the rear of the bonnet.
