It would have been quicker to look under your bonnet than post this.

You'll need a 10mm socket for the 4 nuts per vent.

have taken the originals off easy enuff but the new vents holes dont seem to match up with the original holes, do most people glue these onto the bonnet? is tiger seal the stuff to use? there seems to be a bit off a gap in a couple of places, is that normal, these are def for a classic

Default vents

Hi the vents could be for facelift bonnets or could be for pre facelift bonnets.
i make induction vents myself but not like them ones. they should have bolts bonded in to the vent and should go straight on if there for youre year bonnet. shouldnt be any gaps maybe slight ones but no big ones.

dont glue them on just buy some ones that fit youre year of car.
