Na, i keep most bits for a rainy day. For the dash bits, sam at british auto parts in punchbowl is wercking a series 3 and a 200tdi defender, you could use the dash off either.

Hi Andy,
Any idea yet of **roughly** how much one of these bonnets would be worth?

Would you expect them to be heavier, lighter or about the same as the originals?

How much higher does the bump raise it up - the reason is because I am wondering about it in the context of my existing spare-on-the-bonnet 130 ...

If NOT too high would it be strong enough to mount a spare onto?

Cheers,
Cameron

I was hoping to have them ready to paint for around 5-600. I dont know how much it would raise it, i haven't even seen one. I'd doubt you could run a spare with the hump (whats the use of the hump if you cover it?) and the fiberglass would need heaps of reinforcing to suit. Ive seen ally bonnets crack with a spare on there too.


Andy

any chance of the vented ones?

everyone that has a landie has a grinder;).

direct replacement for now. mabe more later when it gets off the ground.

I'm thinking that with a raised bonnet on a standard model deefer it should provide enough room for a freakin huge top mounted Intercooler, because of air con, condenser and electric fans I can't mount one forward of the Rad without removing the grill..this maybe another option presenting it self;)

thats why i want a new bonnet, make it look a bit less of a backyard build. I'll put the radiator for the water to air Intercooler behind the grill as its a bitch to bleed in its current spot.

Please make me a copy. I like the new hump. I recently had an incident were my bonnet fell off, ( left the bonnet open and went for a drive ) so mines damaged and is in need of replacement. Let me know what happens.

I'm still waiting for my template to arrive.

I was also considering extending the bonnet out the sides and putting a foward facing scoop on each wing top where the heater intake is. See a bowler wildcat bonnet and you will know what i mean.
