1. Align the bonnet to it’s hinges. Install bolts (x4) sufficiently to manoeuvre the bonnet on it’s hinges. Gently lower the bonnet. Adjust so that the corners do not touch the wings at the front and rear. Align the bonnet front edge centrally in the aperture.
2. Partially raise the bonnet. ‘Nip’ up one hinge bolt either side.
3. Lower the bonnet. Check for correct alignment. Readjust if required.

4. Fully raise the bonnet. Torque all hinge bolts to 25 Nm.
5. Install the bonnet gas struts.
6. Gently close the bonnet. Check for correct engagement of the bonnet latch. Adjust if required to achieve the flush specification.
   • Turn the nut anti-clockwise to raise or clockwise to lower the bonnet catch until the bonnet is flush with the wings when closed.
7. Fully close the bonnet. Check for correct operation of the bonnet release lever.
