They are very secure, not too hard to fit, just took my time cutting the bonnet and then bonded into place.
I'm not too sure what to do at the front, I don't really want to buy another set but I think I will end up doing that. Only idea I had was like in the Westfield Bonnet kit, using pins to locate the front of the bonnet/nose, however there is no lip like in the Westfield bonnet Photos in my sig, if you need anymore I will try and take one but I'm a little busy at the sec (getting married Friday, away from Monday) A few more pics here NTDWM Vin plate is on the offside of the chassis not to sure exactly where but he manual says not easy to remove the number. I was thinking on the engine side of the outer top rail (upside down). May be wrong though. Last edited by SeriesLandy : 8th May 2012 at 12:59 PM.

Hi all,
Iv'e kept low for a while after posting that thread regarding photos of NTS Engineerings MX5 build and sparked a heated debate regarding mounting the diff (sorry Nathan)....  I really appreciate all your comments good or bad (it's nice to be praised by you guys though as we are all in the same boat to speak)...  I've spent a lot of time on this forum searching through many posts to create my car so without knowing it a lot of you have helped in many ways...  Chris the brake and fuel lines are copper nickel and come in rolls of approx 7.5 mtrs. I basically straightened them by hand on a table before placing them in the car. I used a blupoint pipe bender to create the 90 degree bends in the 8mm fuel pipe and used one of the hand held pipe plier things for the brake lines. Thanks Series Landy for your'e advice on the Aero Catches. I checked out your'e build quite some time ago and see you were using them and decided that's what I was going to use so thanks for the heads up... Nathan if it wasn't for you and Andy we wouldn't be building a car at all. I persuaded the other guys here (Tony, Luke and Simon) to build a MX5 based car on the original SSC plans ( but to be honest I didn't realise at the time the car hadn't been built...LOL) Your'e carbon products look the muts nuts m8 but you need to have some time to youself and not worry about others... Glad to see you are back on the forum though. Well it's nice to be back on here (thanks Handy Andy) and share what I have done. Keep up the good work Johno. http://s1199.photobucket.com/albums/...uild/Assembly/

That sir, is simply STUNNING  I can,t wait to see it in the flesh one day with regard the placement of the Vin number.... I stamped my vin number onto a 3mm plate (to avoid crushing the chassis tube ) & welded it onto BR11 just below the drivers knee area & also will be putting a chassis plate with axle weights/vin number etc onto the engine bay scuttle on the offside close to where the steering column comes thru from cockpit to engine bay area ( which reminds me ...must rivet that in pronto ).I look forward to seeing more photos of this great build. cheers andy
