So far so good, I didn't go as far as to order the JDM ones I'm just making do with what I have at the moment. After some heavy duty searching through copious amounts of parts in my workshop I came across some brackets that came off a Nissan S15 bonnet, standard that only one bolt lines up but I'm about to mark out and drill out a hole through the new brackets hopefully being able to give me my desired result. If all ealse fails I can fabricate some new ones.
Will keep you posted on how I go.
Cheers mate
