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
Worth its weight in gold.
Bonnet = 2.5kg
