Thank you very much!

If anyone's wondering, this bulge is ex-Caterham, and now available from Redline Components (ex-Caterham people - easily found using Google).

cheers,

David

Here's the Redline link

...and they'll have more bulges in next week.

Got my bulge from Redline - it's a replica of an early Lotus bump, with a scoop/hole in the front. (They also do 'no hole' ones as modelled by Surrey Dave above, for the same price).

It's solidly made, glass well laid with no obvious voids, but not well-finished - it'll need some tarting up and smoothing before I will be able to paint it.

However it only cost me £15 + P&P + VAT, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than I've seen elsewhere... you get what you pay for, I guess!

I'll post some piccies when I start work on it.

rgds,

David

Following the engine conversion i will have one of these buldges up for grabs, if anybodies interested let me know. It should be avaliable in the next few weeks

Here's how the bulge turned out, after all those trials and tribulations...

Looks good mate- like the way it 'matches' ie same grill pattern and colour etc.

Atb,

James

ps

sorry

Nice workmanship! Hope mine comes out that nice.

When using a bonnet bulge ,do you dispense with air cleaner ? The throat of my carb protrudes thro' my bonnet ,so even a bulge (oo er!) would struggle to cover it ,let alone covering an air cleaner !

Dave, that is a seriously nice car - I'm impressed (and jealous!)

Now you've all got me blushing with these compliments!

Midlife - no, you still need the filter. When my bonnet's on, the top of the carb pokes through by around 15-20mm or so. I used one of those Piper mushroom-shaped filters on my DGAV carb, and there's around 10mm clearance.

Now all I've got to do is finish the car... in imminent danger of putting in my SVA application...

rgds,

David

David,
