It's a pretty easy job to do yourself as long as you measure carefully.

Mine are actually needed now, the bonnet gets a little "flappy" at private road speeds.

My main bonnet catch also doesn't stop the bonnet once you pull the lever.

It's easy, just take your time. Measure 10 times and cut once. I've done 6 sets now and just fitted a set to my RA this week.

Sometimes you just have to admit that some things your not very good at, this kind of thing is one of them.

I'm happy to pay for a good job.

Sooo much nicer to do it yourself, but if you can't you can't I guess. Worst thing that can happen is you mess it up, chuck the bonnet away and get another one!
