had a bit of spare time 2 day after doing a bit to the project and fitted the bonnet stays its a faily easy job and works well i used pug 106 bonnet stays and they are the perfect length
just cleaned them up and then painted themwork like a dream
-
Nice J but i hate to be the one to say it there too long fella..
-
They will do for now
-
@5a87f82e95=jay:
They will do for now
yep until you bend them as do most when incorrectly fitted or adapt the wrong ones fella…Sorry had to say it... :roll:
-
I'll get rid and find out how to do it right then
Thanks
-
look up inxx fella there the supplier for aftermarket ones see if they do a set for the mx3 i know they do a set for the mx5 could use those i suppose…
-
Thanks
If there incorrectly fitted how should the be fitted as they work fine.
-
if there too long and on a too shallow angle then instead of just pushing together as supposed to they dont and you close the bonnet and they just bend in half..You may just be lucky J …
-
take a look at the pic on this link its for a set of lifters for a veccy you'll notice there alot shorter than yours and my bonnents alot bigget than a mx3..i have lifters on the gsi and the bonnet opens alot higher than what your pic looks J,.. like said mine are alot smaller too..
-
Ok ill keep an eye out for some shorter ones what's the correct angle for them
-
id look for a set for the mx3 there only £20 per set from inxx but if they dont supply a set for the mx3 try a set for the mx5…
-
Thanks I will do

Hahahaha lmao…

Jay, with those bonnet stays, did you use the threaded ball joint part from a 106 too? straight into the wing/bonnet?
Ive had the INXX ones before (Nova items on a 205), they started rusting after a good few months! was a bit dissapointed, I like what youve done .
-
That looks smart, was it hard to fit? :D
-
ill get some pis up were i bolted the but after ive ajusted the for you
-

-
