Hey Folks,

I am trying to locate the origins of the Lifting bonnet moulds that Mel created.

After all the additional accessories, wiring and relays under my bonnet, it makes sense to fit an opening bonnet for ease of access.

From my understanding BuggySteve had the moulds last and he sold them onto a chap called James Hale ( he was the author of numerous buggy books).

Does anyone have his contact please as i want to discuss making a lifting bonnet but using the Predator dash...many thanks..

Muzzy bought the molds off Mel and I bought one off him before he sold the molds to Steve. I haven't used the one he made for me. Would you be interested in buying it?

Rob,

Don't forget me. Second dibs. Do you think it will fit a GP2 with original fibreglass windscreen.

Hi

I thought Chimp on here had a mould for an opening bonnet?

Who actually owns the moulds now? :-\

Good to know they haven't disappeared.
