Question:
I'm trying to install this,getting to the bulkhead fittings is very difficult on my 1996 SPi Mini. Is there a video that shows how the keepers work, I don't understand it . Cheers Tim Clark
Answer:
Tim,
    Sorry, no videos at this time. The keepers attach to the body where the stock hinges mount and rotate to then hold the new hinges that stay attached to the bonnet.
