Johnc Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Evening All looking under my bonnet today I noticed a couple of brackets with nothing attached. The car has been completely stripped, repaired and rebuild by 2 different people so I don’t recall what was originally fitted to them. Some cars seem to have the horns fitted to them and some a strengthening plate. Is there a single correct answer or are both options factrey. cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 That's where the support bracket goes; looks like you're missing at least one - part numbers 9 and 10 in the attached. They're welded to the bonnet as additional supports; yours looks to have been rebuilt - and resprayed - without any. If you can get a pair - they'll have to be cut off another bonnet or else remanufactured - you can glue them on with some of today's wonder adhesives thereby removing the need to weld and damage the paintwork.

NonMember Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 In addition to what Colin said, the horns would be attached there on a Vitesse as there's no room anywhere else, but you should definitely have that bracing strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnc Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks all - I’ve used the automotive adhesive already it’s a great get out of jail free card. All I’ve got to do is find a pair of brackets . cheers john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
