I want to reinforce the hinge brackets on the boot of my BJ8.
For the BN4 and BT7 there are boat Hinge support brackets available, shown in the picture (AH Spares OE Part Number: 14B9662). Can I also use it for the BJ8?
I also want to reinforce the Lift The Dot Screws, because the old bolts have bent the aluminum boot sheet. Does anyone have a suggestion?

i think the Fasteners are not Lift The Dot, they are Tenax.
 
BJ8 Boot Lids are steel???

Never had a problem with the shroud interface?,

However, oversized flat washers at the post locations should work on the shroud side.

The weakness is not at the Boot Lid side but at the Alu shroud site.
 
And the Boot lids are Steel at the BJ8
