Dilema time...

Recently bought a carbon bonnet for the "B"


Trouble is, Its a pure skin/ ie: No fixtures+ fittings...


Crap


WTF should i do Selling is not an option but making some brackets + making them stay on while being "safe" along side bonnet pins is an option.

What about 4 bonnet pins those plastic looking saftey latches?

2 at the front// 2 at the back...


Seriously considering doing that t.b.h.



Advice + suggestions (is/ are) welcomed

try ripping a metal bonnet apart and using the inner skin, and tiger sealing it underneath, you will then have strength and the brackets

I take it you cant just loose the underbody on the bonnet, you have to cut it off?

yes mate... you'll need some support in there, it'll flap about and warp/twist without it lol..

not sure if tigerseal will be upto the job though.

TBH i'd just use 4 bonnet pins

Tigerseal + fibreglass the brackets too then?

Hmmm... This is going to be a costly mistake
