Default Favour Request

Could anybody witha Saff Cos please measure the distance between the bolts on the bonnet hinges?

I want some bonnet raisers for my Mk2 Mondeo and the only bonnet that I can see that uses a similar set up to the Mondeo, bolts on the side rather than underneath, is the Saff Cos. Just want to get the measurements before splshing out.

Bizarre request I know.

Thanks in advance

Edge of the bolts or centre? I'll have a go when I get home if no one else beats me to it

Centre of the bolt head if possible. That would be amazing if you could mate, thanks

bonnet raisers look shite, looks like you have had a crash and the bonnet doesnt shut properly.

is there no other way you could get airflow through your engine bay instead? people on here are managing 700-800 bhp without needing that tacky shite, so are you sure you do?

I've already got Esc Cos vents cut into the bonnet and have removed the rubber strip along the back. I've seen one Mondy with bonnet raisers and it gave it quite an aggressive look.
I agree they look shite on some cars and dont alwats work, but it's something I'd like to give a go on mine.

Cheers for replying anyway, I always like feedback positive or negative
