corsechris Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Many (many) years ago, I fitted a lair of DHLA 40s to my old Fiat 124 AC Coupe. The AC bit is important, because on that model, the bonnet dived down, so I had to cut a hole to clear the front carb. OK, I thought, need a bonnet bulge. Well known in the day was Fibresports, purveyors of all things plastic for the tuning and custom market , and as I lived just down the road, convenient too. So, toddled over to buy a bonnet bulge. They had plenty….but they were all 100% cosmetic, so I had to cut out the inner skin of the thing so it actually increased the space under the bonnet rather than just adding a carbuncle to it. They seemed genuinely surprised that I actually needed it to be functional. eta. Well I’ll be jiggered, Fibresports are actually still going, and in the same place too I think! Wow, that was over 40 years ago. 1 Quote
