Was a good day on sunday. Been a while since I have been out.

Was good to meet up some of the regulars as well, might see you again on track soon.

unrelated.. what the hell is up with my bonnet? I am hoping it is just not latched properly or needs aligning? any ideas

[shimmy]

cut and shut

[daniel_csl]

Seriously, you think accident damage?

[shimmy]

Seriously, you think accident damage?

no, i doubt it, more like as you said the latch!

the only CSL with hidden front end damage years ago is Matt's

Shimmy U old wind up merchant :hahaha: Don't be silly. It's just one of the bonnet catches not latching on. They do that when they get old. Bit of copper grease and a work out on the catch in the slam panel, with a screwdriver. Job done :thumbs:

I thought there was only one catch? i looked at that today but couldn't figure it out. I can see one latch type jobbie but two springs? How do they work together?

Thanks for the input guys!

There are two catches, one either side of the kidney grills on the inside slam panel, as it were :whistle: Seems one of your catches is on strike :hahaha:

So are the things with the springs the catches and the hook thing is just the release? I am easily confused!

So are the things with the springs the catches and the hook thing is just the release? I am easily confused!

The catches are the things in the front slam panel and they are the things that usually start getting sticky with age and dirt accumulating in there. They are the release mechanism for the pointy bolts attached to the bonnet with return springs, which are usually OK, so long as the tension/return springs are not broken. Best thing to do is to clean your slam panel catches with WD40, make sure they are moving freely (get an assistant to pull you bonnet release handle and watch then move with ease) then apply some grease to them (either white or copper grease) Failing all that (read it... if U can't be arsed ) get an BMW Indy to sort it out for Ya :thumbs: simpools

Thanks Matt.

Just had a look and the left handside catch isn't sticking as it full of road dirt etc. I guess this last weeks 2500 mile road trip didn't help. But at least it was fun:thumbs:
