You mean to space up the bonnet or the water washers?
Washers spacing up bonnet:
Someones backyard, any mechanic, just about anyone that can turn a bolt. Give it a go with a mate. CF bonnet is nice and light, so as long as your carefull you'll be fine.
Water washers:
Again any mechanic or handy man will be able to do this. Or if you have some small files you can do it too.Last edited by DLO01; 24-10-09, 09:46 AM.Deano.

you should be asking places that do composite which kind of drill bit ( the plastic is kinda softish and might stick, and the fiber is kinda brittle ) is best for drilling into your bonnet. i'm sure your mechanic will just get whatever drill bit he has in the drawer and start drilling away..

put some masking tape or painters tape all over and around the area where your going to drill, then you can mark clearly on the tape where you want to drill your two holes and the tape will stop the bit running off. then get a brand new 1/8" bit and at a slow speed drill a pilot hole. then get a slightly larger bit and drill the hole again, if it is realy sharp to, try it with the drill in reverse first so it dosn't bite in to much to start with. keep the drill perpendicular to the surface, don't push to hard, and cross you fingers,
good luck and may the force be with you02 Indy Yellow s2000::::::04 Arctic Blue Pearl DC5R::::::05 White B2600::::::10 Ibis White Q5
