Terry Everall Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Put it like this.....you would not want to let go of the nose cone or bonnet in a light breeze...you might never see them again 1 1
6carjon Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I measured my v8 bonnet with reflective shielding and mesh grilles and got 6kg. My bare carbon bonnet weighs 1.5kg I don't have a nose cone yet...... 3
griffith500user Posted October 13, 2017 Author Posted October 13, 2017 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 1

Robo Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Same, interested but would need a rough idea on price
griffith500user Posted October 13, 2017 Author Posted October 13, 2017 I’m hoping to get an idea next week, I’ll post it on here once I know.
JulianE Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I know someone with a carbon bonnet and nose who would part with it , Carbon Mods never fitted ....
Onliest Smeg David Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 On 10/12/2017 at 09:42, Rory's Dad said: 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.

NDS Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 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
