Nipples!

Recommended Posts

Not what your thinking DIRTY BOYS!

 

I have a full set of AVO coilovers on the front of my Pug. Not a hundred percent sure what causes it or if theres a fix but my car has recieved some nipple like bumps on the bonnet due to impact with my strut bolts.

 

Is there a simple fix for this as the Auto bonnet i have is under attack!

 

Damn Edinburgh Roads!

This may seem a bit extreme but what about shortening the bolts?

 

I DUNNO!

i've just used regular top mounts, actually thinking about it i've never replaced them so they're probably ready for some new ones

I have nipples inthe middle of my bonnet, not a clue how they got there but there you go.

 

Anyways get the yelloe pages out and look for a local dent man. Most can be pulled out form the underside of the bonnet.

Are your strut top flat ?

 

This usually comes about after years of hard pounding when the strut tops bend in the middle. Knocking them back and welding a reinforcement plate on does the trick on the rally car .

 

May be of some help , maybe not :P

Try using the adjusters on the front of the bonnet to raise it slightly.
