Chris,
There are few types around. A pin on type using 4 pins is $280+GST ($308),
while a hinged one is about $420 +GST ($462) last time I checked. I had a
standing offer of $300 for a good bonnet for three months and no one
replied. I eventually bought a car to get one. : )
Cheers
Feral Errol

Any idea how much a bonnet of the fibreglass variety is gonna set me back
for a 68
seems a shame to put bonnet pin holes in a otherwise perfect bonnet. Freight
to perth would be a consideration too i guess but hey while im spending
heaps might as well spend some more :)
regards chris
