Ello there, does anybody know anything about these bonnet blocks to raise the rear of the bonnet up on sries 1's and 2's???
Where to get em and how much cos i got a load of christmas cash burning a hole in me pocket!!!

cheers from
daveyboy(aka PIE CRUST SMASHER)

 

Davey8oy,

Dave try lee at www.fusionfabrication.com ok mate !!!!!!

 

any precision engineering wil make you a set up for not much at all

 

cheers lads will do!!!!!!!!!

im off to do some more pie crust smashin ohhhhhhhhhh yeah!!!!!!

 

what are this blocks for??

 

they raisde the back of the bonnet to allow the heat to escape easyer rather than running into the bulk head! and having to go down!

Try tillio he always gets parts like this!

 

hi there i normally sell these on e-bay for 10 quid if you would like a set i can do them deliverd for 12 quid if your interested????

 

gavintwopies,
hell yeah!!!!!!!!! that would save loads of agro and messin about!!!!!!!

 

Got those blocks on mine, they work a treat, tempeture gauge never went higher than a quarter of the way up on the gauge after fitted.

One downside, after fitted i must have 30 people a week telling me my bonnets open!!. but they look cool

 

same get annoying dont it idiots

knock mine up outta 25mm box section iron, including the longer bolts only cost me £6

 

Isn't 25mm a bit overkill? Got any pics?

 

£15 delivered mate , and i supply you with the longer stainless bolts aswell



ps Most people go for 15mm raisers ,

 

sorry guys but it doesent look right i would rather leave my engine boil over

 

sorry chaps i said 10 quid for the blocks and 12quid deliverd what i didnt say was that i also include the stainless bolts and washers too, sorry for the confusion.

but i'm sure you'll forgive me...............

 

Hmm..selling war now..lol
Isn't your bonnet more inclined to open at speed with the blocks fitted due to the angle of dangle? Thought people recommended bonnet pin fit also if the rear is raised?

 

If your that hard up for £12 Gav , all yours .

 

Got them on mine they work a treat , temps have dropped dramatically

 

gavintwopies, trader are we?

Davey8oy, where possible we always reccomend using a passionford trader, tried and tested service, especially from lee@fusion.

 

here ya go matey

 

Didnt realise that i was treading on anyones toes? at the end of the day he came on here looking to find where to get these things from and i make them , no one came on straight away and made him an offer so thought i'd help him out.
not only can i make these riser blocks but also make many other things for me mates and locals around our area inc 1.8, 2.0 and 2.1 zvh engines etc, etc which i could also offer to ppl on the cheap but dont!!

and as LEE@fusion would know its hard to get started when ppl are all to keen to stop you from helping out (trading if you like) before you start?????

but if thats how it is on here then sod it i dont make anything and cant provide a service even though i can!!! (yes i've spat my dummy)

I thought this site was set up for ppl to help out each other as best they see fit, but if its all mates together then i guess ppl are going to start and have to pay £15 for these from here on out and as for LEE@fusion no i'm not that hard up i just dont have the overheads.

 

I would like a set of these as things do get hot and be nice not to sit at lights and watch the temp go mad....lol

prob is how easy are these to fit to a S2??

 

as easy as taking the bonnet off and putting it back on again!

 

Joe , tis a 10 min job mate , do one side , then the other , bonnet doesnt evn need to come off .

 

would u need pins 2 stop the bonnet flyin open at speed?

 

i wouldnt raise the rear of the bonnet without putting pins in (but then i wouldnt anyway, looks utter shite!)

 

2nd!

except the pins as im getting some!

 

Gonna order a set on the weekend??

best place to get them??

 

pins are not a necessity , he bonnet is raised 15-20 mm at the back ,

this causes virtually no dofference in the location of the bonnet catch ,

if you wanna be extra safe then yeah fit a set , i have them on mine , but its a track car so a bit different .

 

lee, how do i order a set of these then from you?

 

mail me buddy ,

lee@fusionfabrication.com

 

you have email!!!!!!

 

you have email!!!!!!

 

back at ya

 

Would these benefit a fiesta rs1800?
It gets used on track a bit,the temp never goes to high but im all for keeping it low as possible

Will deffo have to get some of these for my S1 soon as it gets well hot

 

universal fit mate
