My longer than average bulge
Benzine - 21/4/10 at 07:31 PM

I don't have one yet but I think i'll need one lawl




Awful phone camera pic, if you can't tell...engine sticks 6 inches into nose cone XD I'll need to make some kind of buldge/scoop that goes over the bonnet to nose cone divide.

ATB!

It is a cylinder shorter than yours though.

I may have to do something similar with mine too! (hadnt thought about it till now )

whats they Kia one that someone uses? is it off the kia sedona? used by MK? might be about the right length


Benzine - 21/4/10 at 08:07 PM

I hadn't thought about just leaving it ^_^ When I get a bonnet I'll see what it looks like.

A kia scoop eh? Not heard of that. I'm quite tempted to make one myself. I've got enough fibreglassing materials to si...patch up a ship.

It looks like it doesn;t necessarily need to be longer than normal, just further forward than normal. Presumably you could either fix the whole thing onto just the bonnet and have the front bit "resting" on the bonnet, or fix it to both, then make a cut to line up with the existing bonnet/nose join and make a lip for one edge to rest on.

Yeah that's what I'm swinging towards
