Hi , Can somebody please tell me If the series one Bonnet is the same as the series Two , Thank you.
 
A series 1 V8 bonnet will fit a series 2 car, but a series 1 4 pot bonnet wont, and a series 2 and series 1 V8 bonnet wont fit a series 1 4 pot car without modifications. I think.....
 
Thanks Harvey, My car is a series 2 ( 1972 ) . It is in the Paint shop at the moment and we have found filler in the front of Bonnet. There is a series one bonnet on EBay at the moment if it was better than mine it might have been an option,but if they are not interchangeable the idea stopped there !
 
How do you tell the difference between a series 1 V8 bonnet and a series one 4 pot bonnet ?
Thanks
 
Thanks H
I had a devil of a job fitting the one I bought for my series 2, I was ignorant of the types. I got it to fit with surgery, then bought an aloominum trim for it.
 
The front panel is further back on the series 1 4 pot which is the real differnce. You could be unlucky and buy a 4 pot bonnet that someone has fitted the ally trim to.
 
Thank you all who have contributed. It has been very educational and saved me a lot of possible hassle. Thanks again , Jim
 
Hi, If your user name is correct and it's a 4 pot then no it won't, If your car is a V8 then it will.
