Although the VX bonnet will fit, won't give you the room for the carbs :( but I've seen a picture of a car with them fitted... I'll see if I can find it and post it here :wink:
I suspect a bit of cut'n'shut will be necessary...... 8O

Knew I'd find it :P have a look... not pretty but I guess it must work http://www.auto-integrale.co.uk/images/forsale/forsale.php?i=1-2

that is quite unsightly and it is for side drafts or downdrfts but thankz for looking hamish

The early bonnets have insufficient clearance for fitting down draft carbs. All series 2 and 3 bonnets have a raised centre section that does give clearance. VX bonnets are very difficult to find and are not necessary for the application you have in mind.

do i put a new serious 2 3 bonnet on or do i do a chop and fill or what what does everyone else think would look the best :?: 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O

best to get a later style bonnet, quite aside from anything else those early low bonnets are rare and it would be a shame to vandalise it, the raised section on the later bonnet is going to look a whole lot more neat and tidy than adding a bulge to the early type
