Hi Alan,
It was painted by a local chap who does unbelievable work. I wish had the talent and the patience.

I had a previous bonnet modified by cutting and filling 5 or 6 years ago, but then wanted a lightweight version. Adrian was involved in the production of the bonnet (provision of the mould - that we had refurbished). He had the foresight to arrange a "bulge mould" from the bonnet I had.

The good news is I believe he still has it so replication should be reasonably straightforward. smile

Cold air has the chance to escape when running slow and cold air in when running fast to give the carbs some cooler air ?
