As I have had a succession of engines in my 2B chassis, the bonnet has been cut about a fair amount. The car originally had a alligator set up , as per the build Videos. ---- Modified with a scoop fitted for the I4 DOHC plenum. ---A large hole on the drivers side. After a large mishap ( another story) I chopped it up and made a fixed scuttle from a single sheet of steel and shortened the 2 halves. Changing the engine meant I no longer needed the scoop , so I covered the hole with a piece of Perspex to show the shiny new plenum on the Nissan . The 2 halves , joined together to make a removable bonnet panel are quite heavy !! Project: Make a new bonnet in Aluminium... Simples , Yes No.. ------- 8x4 sheet 1.2mm not expensive I was going to make it one piece but a cutting error gave me the idea of making it 2 part with a central hinge. -------- 4 ft. of aluminium piano hinge from e-bay. Local panel firm cut the pieces to a paper template I have made and put some nice tight 90 deg bends in. Fitting the hinge was not a problem, much easier than I had thought. Single screw fixings either end to make it easily removable. Progress so far:--
