Hi Guys,

Just noticed, a crack on the side edge of the bonnet, I think my catch has not been working well and the vibrations have caused it to on the weak point in one spot and crack all the way around, mainly under the leading edge - down the passener side.

I thought some firbreglass and resin might work, is this the best thing, or would you recommnend anything else. It's now of the road until it gets sorted frown....don't want to ruin thing completely

I know I am a putz !!

Thanks for the helps

Regards

Jitzz

got exactly the same 3 days ago, i was doing some mega miles and the bonnet from one side lifted. The bracket that bolts to the bonnet has cracked. it is metal not fibreglass so i have taken it out and i will weld and refit

Both mine did this, on one side I used fiberglass resin & cloth and on the other I used araldite, both worked well, just make sure you cover the wings in case some drips, or remove the bonnet.

Hope this helps
