Dan, I think you will find that the only reason to cut the bonnet would be if you purchased a TR6 manifold with the triple DCOEs.? It is my understanding that the GT6 manifold is angled down at the front to accommodate the bonnet slope.

However, I found several references that simple state "the bonnet will have to be cut" to accommodate the carbs. Does anyone have any experience here? I wouldn't mind a small hood scoop (sized like the bulge in the TR-4's bonnet to clear the SU's), but I don't want something too large. Any ideas, thoughts?
