the original bonnet has split on the offside were the fixing goes through , the original owner pop riveted some stainless strips and sandwiched it together !! so I will repair this with fiber glass from the inside (proper repair) and store it .
I have gone for the vented bonnet much stronger than the original and IMO looks better ?

Which brakes did you go for Ste? I've just fitted a high specification kit & the brake balance is verging on dangerous with the rears locking way before the fronts get anywhere near. I've emailed & called them today but no reply or answer yet.Ste .

i had one on my ls griff. definitely vented a huge volume of really heated air, especially at standstill. make sure you get the brake master cylinder looked at or it'll possibly interfere. it'll just need some fettling to work.
When you say "looked at" - what needs changing?griffdude said:

A guy from Germany's coming over on the 4th to deliver them I went for 300mm groves black 4 pot with TVR engraved in red , if the back are locking up you have over done it on the rear ? Maybey you need to get a bias valve and set the percentage more to the front ?Ste .

Nice bonnet btw.
Howard, the 283mm kit with Hi-Spec 4 pots is very well balanced with the larger vented rear discs up rear; certainly no need to alter biasing or anything. Yours should be even more front focused. The calipers are fine on our master cylinders.
Sorry for asking the obvious, but are the pads bedded properly and is the system bled ok? What pads are each end (I guess something super high friction up back might account for an imbalance if not same in the front)?
