adamnreeves Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I have a V8 bonnet I was going to put up for sale £125 collection only. It is a light weight one as well, quite rare I believe. Its in grey primer. It has been used and filled where the bonnet locks were. I've not used it myself and is surplus to my requirements now.
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Any colour V8 bonnet reqd tart it's all my fault
tolf Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 Hi Adam Could you send me any pics via pm? Thanks Ian
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 dont think i helped either just a whispering in the ear
tolf Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 b*******!!!! The V8 bonnet does not fit. Went to see Adam today and shape of bonnet nose and side moulding is different. If I want it, then I need a new nose too.
adamnreeves Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Ian, worse than that, you'd need a new skuttle as well.
tolf Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 Low line bodywork. Oh sod it, I might as well go and buy some new seats instead!
Mark (smokey mow) Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Adam's car has Zk bodywork, i'd assume as tolf's is a wide then it may be the earlier "kit" bodywork. Highline/lowline was only on narrows
tolf Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 Well Mark, it looks as thought I need a new front end of the car if I am to have my V8 bonnet - bit annoying really, but means I can spend the money on different toys...

The earlier bodywork however doesnt have such as deep flange or the locating pins and uses a pair of bonnet caches to secure the front edge. Both standard and V8 bonnets were available for both body types.
