How the hell do you put the bonnet springs back on. This is for my 71 Fasty. There must be some way of stretching these without getting hernia????

Thanks.

I love 242HP sleepers. 🤪

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

I use a pipe or flat piece of steel with a hole in it so I can get a better grip . Over the hook end.

attach to the bonnet before fitting it to the hinges use 2 or 3 people to fit the bonnet

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
