Well done Dirk! I'll nip out and get my copy tomorrow. In the meantime, I had a look at the CKC website and see there's a good photo on the front...

That didn't come out sounding right. Sorry When I posted that I was under enormous pressure:laugh: from a 4 year old(grandson) to keep a promise...

Thanks, I'm not expecting you to do the work for me :blushing: I've researched a lot, also found many similar to those examples. Whilst the...

So this months mag is out and some positive words to support the marque despite my prediction that the Nova and Avante would be his least favorite ...

It has got to be one of my best investments, not only in time to jack the car up each side front back to get axle stands under and then you are on...

I'm now past the 10 years of V6 on a standard IRS VW gearbox. Not broken it yet but can't wait to convert to Subaru as at 70 MPH the engine is...

G'day Dirk, Nice lift and you are again the envy of us all. I have been looking at getting one myself but was unaware you could get a narrow/...

Granted not all are three function but some are. You just need to do a little researching to find the three function ones. I got the grand kids...

I actually explored many of those options. The main challenge is generally they don't have running lights, brake and indicators. I found a nice set,...

Brett If you haven't read Jim's experience from May this year, see ... ...

The additional hand-operated release hook/latch is a good idea, the more protection against bonnet-flip the better. If you fail to lock the front...

David! Maybe we need to look a little lower for better options for tail lights that will fit in the upper section of our cars. ...

`¬) That catch looks just the job, using a 'proper' catch is the secret I think, as then you get the secondary catch if its unlatched...

I'll keep that in mind when I do my release the bonnet latch test at 70mph. :laugh:(that was a joke ) 2011 Chevy Aveo. I found the same style...

In part of the video the inner, outer and high level stop lamp all come on together indicating brakes. BUT in one part only the left inner is on, but...

I wonder if the inner segment has the Fog light and the outer the brake light? Dirk

A very nice solution for the hing location. Dirk

Another set of lights with possibilities (inner segment) as it has everything. Need to get measurements though ...

Very neat way to overcome the not so flat surface of the Nova body's for a hinge install

It looks a very neat solution for the bonnet, but even if the bonnet has to move forward after this point, I think at 70mph if the wind got...

The part is bonded in place with evercoat #815 panel adhesive. As soon as temperatures get a little warmer I'll add a few layers of glass to finish...

Brett, is the hinge recessed mounting section bonded in (glue) or fibreglassed in? Looks neat

The canopy is fully open and yes I was hoping for the bonnet to open more, but one detail I wasn't sure about was how low the hinge mount would have...

Looks pretty good to me too Brett ... were you intending the bonnet opening to be wider, or isn't your canopy sitting fully open?

Why do you say you got it wrong, the photos show it opening and not fouling the canopy?

This should be the final post for this modification. All thats left to do now is install the latch and the gas struts Well,,, it didn't turn out...

Agreed, my thought at the time when I ordered one to check it out was to fix them frenched in set in pairs, something similar to what Nic did on his...

Personally I don't care for them. Aside from them being led, the shape and style look pretty basic. I haven't ordered any of these yet so I don't...

Me too. Goodwood used to be great, now overcrowded and impossible to get into without pre-booking and limited to half a dozen events a year so that...
