Front Flip Bonnet Hinge Kit for mk1 'Bugeye' Sprites
The original design for opening the front bonnet on 1958-1961 Bugeye Sprites needs an upgrade. Q1’s front flip bonnet hinge kit allows easy access to the engine bay and includes an integrated bonnet stop. It also is the only product on the market that does not require drilling extra holes in the radiator support. The hinges themselves and the thrust washers for the sliding mechanism are machined from high-grade Delrin for silent operation without the need for grease or a spray lubricant. The rest of the kit is machined from 5052 aluminum to save weight. Simply put, these are the most meticulously-engineered bonnet hinges available.
Note: All hinge kits will ship with a pair of single spacer blocks rather than the stack of spacers as displayed in the last photo.
