Narrow Body Bonnet wanted

[Rob the Red Top]

My bonnet has been hacked on both sides as a result of an engine swap (long time before I bought her) and I want to replace it with a better one. I need to cut it some more as it now has straight inlet tapered Jenveys. in addition I need to add a bulge for the front of the engine as we needed to modify the mounts to obtain sufficient ground clearance for the dry sump. I could ideally do with a modified narrow body bonnet or one to modify myself.. Any advice on where to find one would be good.

I have an old but new one that could be for sale, I can provide you a pic if you want? It has no cutouts.

Posted a pic up, it’s me that’s got the straight cut type 9 that you asked about yesterday.

Ah.... I'm still thinking about the gearbox... Need the bill for the engine work first.. How much for the bonnet?

[3cxjay]

[Rob the Red Top]

I could possibly pop out Thursday evening or Friday day?

Thursday evening would suit better but will depend on the wife as she’s expecting and overdue!  I will let you know if I cannot do Thursday evening.
