bonnet spring

[nikki1979uk]

i have spring under my bonnet that keeps falling off, but i have no idea how to put it on

i am rubbish with putting pictures on forums with all the sizing and stuff, so looking through google i found this image which belongs to Fingolfin he posted about it a while ago so i have borrowed it (sorry)



can anyone tell me how to fit said spring without it falling off

the end of the spring in your pic nearest the rad , the spring is attatched to the rad panel itself and not the lever as you have it

thank you, it was driving me crazy dangling around

The other end is more secure if you stretch the spring and then wind some insulating tape around it

not necessary mines been on for over 10 years and no problems

As long as it's tight enough - it should stay in place.

[nikki1979uk]

well I fitted it, hopefully it stays put.

Thank you for your help guys
