Title: Alfetta GTV6 bonnet to an Alfetta GTV4 body
Post by: ALFAAA on April 17, 2025, 03:48:56 AM
Hi to all,
Has anyone tried to fit a Alfetta GTV6 bonnet to an Alfetta GTV 4 cylinder body.
The fire wall mounting catch is way out. Has anyone done a modification bracket.

I would of hoped that someone did do this Modification to fit a GTV6 bonnet to a 4 cylinder Alfetta GTV using the original firewall mount.
I know it's been done but cannot find no info.  :'(

I know the Alfetta catch is different, but would have thought the GTV4 & GTV6 to be much the same catch and position??

Perhaps send some pictures of what you have...

Hi Davo416,
Thank you for your response.
The GTV to the GTV6 bonnet catches are in a different location due to the lock mechanism mounting point.
I made a new bracket and it looks great and it works. :)
