Default EF8 Front end Conversion problem!

hey, i've got an ED9 (australian crx) and im currently doing the EF8 front. The ED9 is the same shape as your DX and the other japanese EF7.
I can't get my bonnet pin to line up from the bonnet to the car. I know that the siR is about an inch longer to fit the B16a from factory in there but i've seen sooooo many of you guys do it and just wondering what T-Bar i need? (where the bonnet pin goes, infront of the radiator) I've seen pics but no real answer. The hole on these T-Bars sit further forward.

I've got bonnet, bar, headlights etc. I just dont want to ruin my EF8 T-Bar by making the holes bigger to fit the pin.

Please let me know!

Get longer bolts and some washers and just space out your stock t-bar

personally, i think taking the T bar, and bending it into a U shape instead of being flat, seems to work well, looks good, and is more solid that using spacers

truuuuuu, i have thought about bending it. I've just gotten an email back from a supplier who might be able to get me an EF facelift one. Worse comes to worse i'll bend it

Thanks for the info!
