positive mine didnt have them, couldnt see anything that resembled a connector, where exactly is that connector, would make life easier!

right dad just got back, the catch is held in by a nut/bolt, not sure what size, and theres also the safety catch which is held in by a solid pin, it needs to be knocked out with a hammer and a drift (punching tool), so that u can swap this to your new bonnet, just be dead careful with the screwdriver then mate! should be ok if your careful! hope ive been of some help!;)

the washer jets just pop off, the pipe runs inside the bonnet just pull it out carefully, cant quite think for sure how i got mine off, if the bonnets fcuked u might aswell just put a small flat bladed screwdriver underneath the jet and just prise it off, should come off pretty easily might still be attached to pipe so just pull it off, and as u say hinges e.t.c, cnat think how i did the bonnet catch though:boggle: ha my dad did that as i was out! when he gets back ill ask him and post it up! good luck chap!
