Re: NG Bonnets

Hi Malc,

They look vaguely NG bonnet shaped. When I built my first car I was loaned a bonnet to use as a template. I then got a local sheet metal fabricators to knock me up a set.

Regards

Paul

Re: NG Bonnets

It made me laugh when their websites says - for a V8 and 1800 kit car.

But local would be better, I haven't found anybody local to me yet.

Neil has convinced me that a slightly longer than standard bonnet would make my V8 fitment much easier.

Re: NG Bonnets

Hi Malc - a longer bonnet would certainly help with a V8, otherwise you might have to customise the fan pully. Some have even had special rad core made with a pocket to take the pulley boss - but a bit of a 'buggers muddle' that. Of course the nose cone mounts will have to be adapted to suit. Make sure you also get more space between the grill and the front of the radiator or you won't be able to fit a decent size fan (which you will need with a V8

regards - Chris

Re: NG Bonnets

Just rang DMark and they did make the bonnets for Findhorn, as I haven't a response to either email I sent to NG Cars and Companies House is showing NG Cars Ltd as 'dissolved' I guess we'll be finding our suppliers from now on.
