    Minus the 2 holes in the front, Looks simple but at least it doesn't look over board. Im not keen on glassing shit but something like this would be fair easy to make.

    How high exactly does the scoop need to be ? 3, 4 inches?

    Ramis, if you can make me a bonnet bulge like in the pic I would be very happy :D

    Looking at around 15cm high I think, will measure properly once it's back in again...

    Shouldn't have to be that big!! :eek:

    Trickiest bit is around the throttle as it's directly under a main bonnet brace. Rest is ok.

    hmm, so the bulge has to litterally start from the front of the bonnet? in other words gotta cut out the bonnet latch on bonnet as well and use bonnet pins?

    edit : who has a bonnet i can play with!

    I dunno ay, couldn't clear the Walkinshaw bulge by a long shot. I dunno why it looks like it sits so high!

    Yeah, has to start pretty close to the front to clear the rad filler neck. But I'm sure we can keep the latch. Ross is holding a bonnet for me, I'll pick that up sometime soon, cut it up and drop it off at yours? :)
