 Thanks for the info. I studied the pic in your gallery of the bonnet area of concern on the AU's. I'am getting the clamps & hose ready to do the job. I will be marking the area with texta then cutting the underbonnet deadener with a stanley knife.Then if I can get in a air saw to neaten the metal cut if I cannot get in a pair of tin snips. ghiaman |

Finally fitted mine and yes it too hits the bonnet. I'll have to take the advice of the AU owners and bend the brackets a little. I'm not as keen as AU-MUSTD and start hacking away at my bonnet.

Just wondering if you people talking about it hitting the bonnet have the layer of sound deadener under your hoods or not as that takes a bit of space. Not that I recommend getting rid of it.

I found my bonnet got almost too hot to touch after I pulled it off.. probably good for the engine bay, but I wasnt so sure about the paint.
