Bonnet
The bonnet has been modified in a few different areas. Both for cosmetic and functional reasons.
The most obvious being the scoop and vents. The scoop
and vents are functional. They assist with the cooling. The scoop
actually forces air onto the engine when in motion and the vents let hot air out
from the under bonnet area when stationary or moving. I also think they
look good.
The scoop is from an old Toyota Supra and the vents are from a
local boatyard. I gather they are generic vents used for many marine
applications. A big benefit of them being Marine equipment is that they
are made from marine grade Stainless.
In addition to the scoop and vents, the following additional mods have been made:
To allow for the Servo on the brakes, a section of the rear of
the bonnet had to be removed. This was easily cut out using a jigsaw.
Its not very clear here but if you look carefully you can just about make out
the cut-out on the left of the picture as you look at it. You can also see
from this picture the holes cut out to provide the cooling from the scoop.
The Original Bonnet catch was removed, as the modified front grille section and relocated/modified Radiator mean that it would no longer fit. The bonnet is now held down by Stainless steel catches.
