Title: Fibreglass long bonnets/hoods Post by: RobtheManx on March 06, 2013, 17:21:11 pm Hi everyone , I've been busy moulding again .
I have taken a mould from my stock original 67 hood , the first one came from the mould today and the fit is damn near perfect . The lip round the edge is solid fibreglass so you won't be able to use a clip on seal , but they will fit well onto an original seal . The first one has a steel hinge panel from a rotten bonnet bonded in and works perfectly on the hinges . I will be doing fibreglass hinge panels this week . I can do them as a single skin race weight to use on pins for race cars £180 , Or with the return lip and hinge panel for £250 . Cheers, Rob Title: Re: Fibreglass long bonnets/hoods Post by: RobtheManx on March 06, 2013, 17:22:45 pm Scuttle fit

Title: Re: Fibreglass long bonnets/hoods Post by: RobtheManx on March 06, 2013, 17:46:26 pm I haven't weighed them yet , but the one in the pictures weighs about 2/3 of the original steel one . I'll do a paper thin one for you Richie !
What is the everlasting buggy Erich ? Basti , I have moulds for bonets , gasser bonnets , front and rear fenders , flared front and rear fenders , engine lids....... what more do you people want ! Only joking , but I am starting to run out of room for moulds ! Rob Title: Re: Fibreglass long bonnets/hoods Post by: Basti on March 06, 2013, 18:01:54 pm Rob,

I will be doing fibreglass hinge panels this week . Er... Sadly, it wasn't from a rotten bonnet, but from a perfectly good one that used to be on my car, I butchered to see if it would fit.. LOL. This being said, the Bonnet is fantastic. Would recommend anyone buy one. ;D Title: Re: Fibreglass long bonnets/hoods Post by: wsl656 on March 20, 2013, 17:42:58 pm what about doing some oval wings :)

Title: Re: Fibreglass long bonnets/hoods Post by: RobtheManx on March 20, 2013, 21:02:02 pm what about doing some oval wings :) If someone wants to lend me a really good pair of oval wings , I could take a mould ! Moulding process would wreck the paint so only lend them to me if you plan to repaint them . Thanks , Rob Title: Re: Fibreglass long bonnets/hoods Post by: RobtheManx on March 20, 2013, 21:06:48 pm how about type 3 fenders, flipfront and doors ;D ;D I may know of some moulds for these stashed away somewhere . I'll do some investigations !
