HOW DO I - Swap Bonnets?

Postby Corsair » Fri Aug 12, 2016 5:51 pm

I understand that the Gen IV bonnets may be easily replaced and interchanged between different models. Just wondering how to do this and is it something I can do easily?

Any assistance or (step-by-step) guidance would be greatly appreciated. :-D
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

There's really not that much holding them on, just 2-4 bolts. I can't imagine it would be too hard?

Obviously it's best to do it with a helper, and in a closed garage. The wind has damaged many a bonnet/windshield recently (wind catches bonnet, slams back into windshield), when people got a bit too confident with having their bonnet open.
