Bonnet/Hood Fixing

Hi
Can anyone give me any information on how the bonnet/hood is fixed to a 2400 Coupe please?
Is it just two nuts and bolts that hold the bonnet on? If so can anyone advise what size they should be?
If anyone could post some photos of the fixing it would be very much appreciated.

Need to get the bonnet on and then its off to the body shop.

Thanks

Darren

Thanks Tobi

Those manuals are brilliant but it doesn't really help me with the size and type of fixing used. The drawing just shows a screw holding the bonnet on. I was looking for some details on the screws used, i.e. is it a Hex Head, Philips Head etc and what size of screw is it?
To give you a bit of a background, I bought my Dino 2400 Coupe almost 2 years ago as an incomplete project. I was full of excitement and dived in head first and started ripping everything out. The bonnet removal was one of the first tasks and in my excitement I didn't take any proper photos and now I can't even find the screw that I removed.
The car is now totally stripped and is getting sent away to the body shop for blasting and remedial work so I just want to get the bonnet and boot put back on. Any info anyone can provide would be very much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

Darren

Hi Darren,
Unfortunately, I'm not at home at the moment and can check the Dino for more Infos, but I've found this picture. Maybe it helps a bit.
Regards,
Tobi

Thats a start, it must be bolted from the bottom as the hole doesn't appear to be threaded.
