I just need to resolve the catch - tomorrow, truck and i are not talking right now. What has changed since I closed it earlier this week and now - no idea.
    You know Phil, its going to be something so simple its staring at you in the face. Been there done that on too many occasions.

    Yes. on the GQ. I have the bonnet sitting at the right 'elevation, lined up with the top of the guards, and front edge of the guards, catch is in its upper most position within the factory slots and the bonnet catch simply won't engage. have dropped it from height, swore at it in Swahili and chucked a dirty rag on the ground in frustration, no avail. Its been sitting there all day, been too busy with work to get back to it, You would swear the catch has moved upwards in the bonnet, but its all welded firm, no deformation.

    Mark, I know, I have had 2 neighbors over to stick their noses under the bonnet and we collectively spent 4 hrs on it yesterday, without the prize being reached. I keep looking for the dumb=arse spanner or nut fowling on the bracket - but nothing. Its bound to bounce out and make me look like a goose, guaranteed.

    PHil I assume you have tested the catch using a screw driver and push down on the catch lever replicating it taking the striker? Have you tried without the release cable attached also. If not, remove the cable and tie a wire to the lever so you can use the cable to open it just incase...

    No idea but this possibly needs a holistic approach Philstar, not engineering solutions?
    GQ’s have feelings too, enough is enough, stop shoving extra goodies in my mouth

    What you show is what i have, except the entire bracket is tilted forward as such. I have to put a big washer under the bottom of the bracket just so the bonnet will close. Anyway, the hunt continues!

    Apologies Philstar, you do know I love you Mate!
    Any chance the fibreglass bonnet mods have tweaked some stuff?
    My ADR Blitz did shrink some 5mm around all edges under 6.5NA temps out there 🥲
