the whole thing wobbles when drivng and its shitting me cos i know everything is lined up sweet any suggestions?  |

Bonnet latch is different between low and high series bonnets.
One off a low series AU1(forte, futura), AU ute or an AU XR series will suit. |

Yeah it can be done, and vice versa, but it's never the same again unless you use the proper part. just different angles iirc

The latch will need to be modified. It's a problem that a few of us with the bulge have come accross.
Two threads that will help are http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11258446 http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11217887 Cheers

Nice wagon - love a wagon with the XR front - I still wonder why ford didn't, and still don't do one from the factory. I reckon BF3 wagon with FG XR front would look awesome!
