When you get chance would you be able to give us the dimensions at the front of the bonnet to the top rail, just want check the height as I haven't finialised my engine brackets yet and this will determine how much I drop below the rails

Cheers mate

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

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.

Cool 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

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
