Hi all,

I am looking at buying new bonnet hinges for my series 1. Rimmers list them as 1982 onwards. Does anyone know what the difference is? Confused

Thanks in advance,

Smiffy.

According to the parts fiche on the Technical Publications CDROM
the part number is the same, ACP1131.

I looked in the fiche 1980-81 and 1982-87. Couldn't find the hinges
in the earlier fiches (1976-80)....

The only difference that I can think that there might be is that the earlier hinges may not have the 'lugs' to attach gas struts to.

I was thinking that they should be the same but waiting for some others to confirm it! Embarassed Didn't want to give out any bad advice.
It's not like BL had loads of money to keep changing little things like that is it? Changing the style of the Headlights, adding different bumpers and adding chrome and wood was probably all they could afford to do! Laughing

I was wondering, what are the differences between series 1 and 2 bonnets. I
can think of three differences:

1. Washer jet holes (bonnet mounted on series 1).
2. Headlamp eyebrow holes (series 2).
3. Is the front edge of the bonnet different - the series 2 has a small grille
across the width of the bonnet below the headlamps.

I have ordered 2 new hinges from Rimmer Bros. I will post an update on any difference once they arrive.


Thanks all.
