GuysAs I sit and gradually plan my race car build, does anyone know if it is possible to get a fibreglass bonnet anywhere? Alternatively, anyone in the fibreglass business willing to take a mould subject to a certain number of orders? It is not an emergency, but as I have quickly realised, the 306 community is so good, compared to other forums, that everyone seems very helpful for the 306 cause. ________________________________________ Adventure before Dementia !! |

Yeah I though about this a while ago has there's a fibreglass prototype firm by me but couldn't imagine there being much of a weight saving. Be interesting to see the weights ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |
