Servicing a R107

[Malc]

Silly question but maybe someone can help!

Is there anyway to get the bonnet to open further, besides removing the hinge clips and propping it open with a broom handle?
My head hurts from banging it on the grille and my back is going to kill me
Thanks

only by taking it off.

I miss that wide open bonnet when getting to the back of the engine myself.

Every Merc I've ever seen, from thge 123 to the 211 has a 2 position bonnet. Doesn't the 107?

One day I will put up a picture of the R230 with the boot in the service posistion, it goes up in the air about 12feet, but you do need surports to hold it.

the 107 is a pleasing law unto itself

no easy solutions here. I hate having to do a headstand in the footwell to change a fuse
