Good to hear
I tried to organise a group buy of their stuff not too long ago but i got grilled over it
So i didn`t bother , Reminds me i should email them back and tell them the noob`s over here only want cheap plastic crap

Rangje if I recall correctly it might have been that people wanted plenum chamber covers that let air in and the glass ones didn't?

Any pics of the plenum (on the car)?

I'm up for a new binnacle soon so this looks like a very cost effective option.How did you go drilling the 2 screw holes on the front? Any tips on aligning them in the right position?CheersSteve

Unlike the plenum covers that were not suitable because it didn't allow fresh air to be drawn in, I do like the idea of a fibreglass pinnacle cover, even if it requires some work to get switch gear to fit properly etc. Cheers

In the moulding process, the indentation I'd evident, drill them out and a bit longer bolt with a washer, all good.

Looks no different to a plastic one...just in one piece.
