Sweetie Dish = Bonnet Bulge
This is what I did yesterday. I needed a bonnet bulge for the Robin Hood and the bonnet is stainless so I got to thinking.
Then a few hours later on ebay I'd bought a sweetie dish:

Then I chopped it about a bit and had a quick go at polishing it which worked ok:

Then I chopped a hole in my bonnet and voila, bonnet bulge:

I think it's pretty cool, it needs bonding in after it and the bonnet have been polished but I'm pleased, and it cost a fiver which is
truly LCB style

Captain Cunning!
If this wasn't LCB what you really should have done is to start an e bay shop for "Stainless bonnet bulges"

Nice work, thinking outside the box and all that.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Nice, bet you have saved yourself a few quid as well.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's for clearing the brake reservoir, the bonnet I had was an inch short each side so I cut it and made it fit between the scuttle and nose
rather than overlapping the scuttle which solved that problem but now the brake res and air filter contact it.
I've got a stainless serving tray complete with teak handles to sort the filter bulge lol
