I am thinking of modifying my bonnet to make it open, it will have a full rollcage so will potentially hinge if off the front hoop.
Just seeing if anyone has made theres so the bonnet opens, or have any info about buggies that came with opening bonnets.
Thanks  8)

muzzy001 has moulds for opening bonnets that used to be sold by Meyers Manx.

They hinge from the rear and the headlights mount on the bonnet so that they don't get in the way of opening.





Meyers Manxter and Kick Out models have front hinging bonnets.
