I`ve had a bonnet and scuttle made and the bonnet was made wider and taller then the scuttle(don`t ask)!
Has anyone out there got a bonnet thats small for there car and wants to swap for my one!!
not for me, but measurements might help other people
Is you bonnet ali or GRP?
If ali you should be able to bend it to fit and then trim off the excess.
If not, good luck! lol!
Cheers,
James
Hmmm, thinking about it. If you went for a bonnet like Fozzie's (hinged in the middle) then you could just trim your one to fit. Cut out the
middle where it's too wide (each edge will fit to the hinge) and then just trim off the excess where it overhangs the sides of the car.
Hope that helps!
James
I thought about triming it but dont want to mess it up its made in GRP and ill go and mesure it up and put a pic up!
Fozzie's work of art.
Bonnet up
BTW, do you remember that cartoon called M.A.S.K? When she pulls the right levers, Fozzie can make her car fly too!

Wow thats cool Fozzie, somehow i've managed to miss that everywhere else. Thats very inspiring to say the least...
the size is 39.5inch long 41.5inch scuttle end 30inch nose cone end 11inch tall S/E and 8.5inch NC/E and its in black primer

Awww thanks James...
Hinged bonnet not quite that simples...(chk)
Mine is ali, and you have to do a 'return' to enable the fixing of the hinge....you also have to 'fashion' the ends to enable the
fixings of the bonnet hinge 'ends' to sit in the nose and scuttle securely.. , and the whole thing to sit flush and streamlined....
M.A.S.K.....LOL yes, with the depth of the pot holes around here, the safest bet is to make use of those flying levers !

I could use that bonnet, even though I've made one out of ally. My engine area is very long which is why I made one, but I do have a 34"
long MK bonnet to trade if you like. You get yours to Canada, and I'll get mine to the UK...
Honestly, just make one yourself from ally. It won't be expensive and you can sell this one.
And Foz:
Keep the pics down in number please. It gets a bit tough on the oldsters like me looking at such fine work. I mean look at the bloody floor! Spotless!
