Hi guys,

Following the fitting of my Jackson Racing Cold Air Induction kit, I bought hood lifters on Ebay to replace the bonnet prop. However the instructions are dreadful - the photos are very poor, and so I need to drill but I don't know where! Did anyone else but INXX hood lifters & if so, can they send me pics or even instructions?

Tks guys

Simon

Hi simon, Mx5 parts sell bonnet lifters but im not sure if thay are the same ones you have. Any way they have kindly set up a page of instructions here

Hope this helps you.

finally got round to fitting the lifters i got. it was actually easier than i thought it was going to be.
Few pics for anyone else wanting to do the same

Measure the point you are going to drill, 32mm back and 8mm down from the top of the hinge


drill with a 5mm drill bit


tap with a 6mm tap


mark bonnet hinges and remove 2x 14mm bolts(i did the whole thing one side at a time and kept the bonnet supported)


screw ball joint (the shorter of the two) into the hole that you have just tapped and secure the other side with the nut


refit hinge to the bonnet making sure that you line it back up properly


remove 10mm bolt from the wing and replace with the second ball joint (the one with the longer threads)


fix your lifters and your done.

Nice !
I need to get a pair of those...

Nicely done ash.

Nice, Ash. And thanks. Are they the INXX ones that I got from Ebay?

Simon

yeah the same as yours mate, Have a look at the link that i put up aswell. i followed them so with that and my pics you should be fine. remember measure twice drill once and you will be sorted.
Ash

Ah great, thanks Ash. I'll work thru both sets of instructions in detail before I take up a drill!
