Hello David,

You are quick off the mark. The pic of the bonnet i put up had a few marks from the mold and needed the front edge extending in the mold to give 10mm more clearance on the front of the scoop for trim. I've been re-working the mold today and will be ready for a bonnet to sell in a week or so.

Cheers....Andrew

Looks mighty fine that ! Looks like its going to be a great seller ! Im sure ill be needing one of them soon

How would you go about cutting the hole out for the scoop, and making it look tidy?

For any scoop James use a cup drill from B&Q, just steady and on slow speed. Drill the pilot first on its own then use the cup drill with the pilot hole as a guide and slowly let the cup drill into the fibreglass. Cover the area in masking tape first and mark the area to be cut, then cut out the 2 lines between the holes with a grinder and metal cutting disk. Finish off edge with 120 grit paper. Same for all holes, ie sides and rear panel.

Will come out fine....Andrew

Thanks Andy, much appreciated ;)

Well, the first bonnet is out of the Rev 2 mold for the new bonnet....:D

First one is going to Enoch for trial fitting of the DOHC engine. Should be fine.

The bonnet shown is the first one out the mold and is still a little dull, the mold needs some extra buffing, waxing and working in but looking good.

Andrew

Looking great
 

That is looking a treat Andy, well done mate :) :)

The new bonnet looks like it will solve quite a few clearance issues on a lot of builds ;)

Tis nice watching the Saturn product range expand :cool:

Thanks Ronnie,

It's nice to put new products to the market place to, keep the roadster developing and not become stagnant. Also makes a change not to be working on the same things day in and day out.

Will be good to see your new build coming on, should be zooming along with a Handy chassis pack.

Cheers....Andrew

Now "thas ansum" as they say In Cornwall:)

Well, I now have the new bonnet from Saturn, my God that Spud guy knows what he is doing:) Looks damn fine, in my opinion. I can say with certainty that it clears all the nasty sticky out bits on my DOHC / MT75 combo fitted with my modded manifold. It looks like it will clear a standard manifold, I am in the process of verifying that info. When I have done so I will measure my engine relative to some fixed points on the chassis so that other builders should find the process much easier.
As soon as I have found a couple of hours to get in the garage I will update this thread with the full SP.
Dave.
