#1: Bonnet alignment Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Wed Jul 13, 2011 2:06 pm ---- Hi
I've noticed that the gap between my bonnet and drivers wing is slightly bigger than the gap on the other side
Its not a big issue but it annoys me. Is there anyway I can tweek the alignment easily to match?
The wings are aligned fine in themelves
Cheers

They are 10mm I think from memory

I was expecting to be told I'd have to take it off and put it back on haha

Is there a specific torque for the bolts to be tightened again?
