I measured my v8 bonnet with reflective shielding and mesh grilles and got 6kg. My bare carbon bonnet weighs 1.5kg :sun:

I don't have a nose cone yet......

I might have a contact that can knock a small quantity of these up if we get enough interest and supply a bonnet to make the mould. 

If he is willing to make a batch I will post a thread asking for committed members to gauge interest levels

Dave - it's the nose that's different IIRC.

Photo below of Siltech Bonnet & Nose. Can see the twin side lines are not present, as on scuttle, so both different from standard westfield design.

Aerodynamix can produce a V8 style bonnet in both GRP and Carbon without the rear NACA ducts. Our preference would be to wet lay and bag the parts this allows us to use a generous gelcoat layer on the part. (Better UV protection)

We can produce super light bonnet with a centre section of Kevlar for rigidity. Or Carbon Kevlar mix

Please contact NeilK@aerodynamix.co.uk or  NeilS@aerodynamix.co.uk
