Re: Coupe bonnet mounting hinges
I can photograph what is on my car if you wish, but it is a partly home brewed solution.
I do have a "bent" (I mean post collision bent) metal plate that was originally bonded in to the front of the car to hinge it to the front subframe; you can have that if you want it.

Re: Coupe bonnet mounting hinges
This is the original mounting bracket on mine. I cut it out and made a new one in GRP and kevlar. The hinges bolt to a cross piece on the front of the front subframe. This is the best photo I have I'm afraid.
