    I am a very, very stupid guy!

    While refurbishing my 308gtb QV calipers I managed to crash my front bonnet against the garage roof...

    The story is very simple: the car is on a car lifter and to do the work I had to repeat several times the sequence - lower the car - open the bonnet to refill the fluid reservoir - close the bonnet!! - rise the car to work on calipers - repeat -->

    For seven times (twice per caliper) no problem, but the eighth (the last) I forgot to close the bonnet!

    I have already found a part supplier that has in stock a new bonnet but it looks like that even the two hing arms got deformed.

    Even these parts are easily available but I can't figure out how to reach the two bolts that keep them attached to the frame. They are hidden under the car nose, out of hands reach.

    So the question is: does anybody know how to do this, possibly without having to remove the radiator?

    Ciao and thanks for the attention.

    Franco
