The TP and the fouling bonnet is a myth .... It was a very technical debate at one point given the TP is alledged to give an increased height of 2.5" so you can never close a standard P6 bonnet.
However, using advanced technical procedures it was solved as follows;
1) Leave the sound deadening off!
2)Close the bonnet and nobody knows whats under there.

Didnt give the heat insulation a thought to be fair ..... Ill just see what happens ... if it cracks, then ill have to buy a NADA .... just like the look of them.
Have to say, I cant face painting any more panels though.

Taxed and tested ..... few clonks, needs centre caps etc. Done about 50 miles so far. Just teething problems as is to be expected with the transplant.
It was originally Cameron Green .... but in fairness, most of those panels went into the iron. It has had 3 replacement doors, new wings and a quarter, replacement roof, front and rear valence, cover sills. Not much original. All new calipers, brake lines, fuel lines, brand new petrol tank, poly bushed, adjustable shocks, lowered springs, different interior, mota lita ...... as I said, not a lot of the oringinal car left .
About 3 months ago, when all the panels were off and the roof off, I was offered by the scrappy £50 to take it away ..... obviously not appreciating what was under the scrap bonnet I had placed on it to cover the bay.
... the engine bay is VERY different to the original
Custom stainless manifolds and stainless exhaust. UNderneath is interesting too, electronic fule pump to the rear with fuel in and fuel returns running up and down it.
BAsically, modern motoring in a retro shell.

I want a complete bonnet to be fair ..... how about I buy the bonnet and you use the scoops? :wink:
Hello Jim,
There was a guy advertising 2 N.O.S. NADA bonnets last year on Rudiger Wicke's site. I've just had a look and the ad is still there. The guys name is G.Greenwood and his number is 07770 433336. I think he might be in Ipswich, so not too far away.
The cars looking great by the way! Did those window rubbers go in alright?
Roly.

They were good Roly .... all lined up, bit of fairy liquid and in they popped .... best bits of rubber on the car. Thanks for the info. Speak soon, Jim
Hi Twin Plenum
Bit confused as to what you are trying to achieve with the NADA bonnet. With the exception of the scoops the bonnets are identical to standard. So adding a set of scoops to a standard bonnet achieves the same effect visually. Plus you don't have to have the holes that would be there under the scoops in a NADA bonnet. Or do you have a S2 bonnet at the moment and fancy an S1? If so then you need either a S1 V8 bonnet (quite rare, and a 4 cyl won't fit) and a set of genuine or repro scoops or a genuine NADA. Another option might be to fit a single centre scoop to your S2 bonnet. That looks very good and is actually a factory standard fitment on cars fitted with A/C! The scoop is again standard NADA. The side scoops from a NADA won't fit onto an S2 bonnet because of the different crease lines. I'm pretty sure there are photos of S2 single scoop bonnets if not on this site then for sure on Rudiger Wicke's.
On genuine NADA's the intake arrangements are quite eccentric. The centre scoop feeds direct into a new opening in the top of the airbox. The side scoops are thermostatically controlled to feed into a strange arrangement over the exhaust manifolds that onlky draws air when the weather is very cold. No one in their right mind would replicate this arrangement, especially if running an injected engine!

Whats the chances of getting a single scoop for a S2 bonnet? Are they available aftermarket?

I don't know whether using a bonnet from Federal P6B will give you clearance for the TP set up without modifiying the cut out in the bonnet lid itself. While the scoop is fairly long the actual opening at the rear of the scoop is only a few inches across in either direction. I think you may find it best to source a single scoop and open out the whole of the bonnet below/inside it it to get clearance. I'd suggest using a thinner liner with an aluminium place of the felt one for the bonnet as well.
I think you'll find the thermostat is only in the aircleaner box - the side scoops are simply there to direct air around the engine bay and especially the exhaust manifold area and can be shut off in winter with a plate "valve". In more moderate climates the side scoops are probably redundant for cooling purposes though they are definitley necessary (if not always sufficient) in these parts.
The thermostatic valve in the aircleaner box blends hot air from from a hot box around the right hand exhast manifold which is ducted through a hose to the clenaer box; cold air comes in from the center scoop and is blended with the heated air to maintain a constant inlet air temperature for emissions control.

Bonnet closes fine. Just wanted scoops for aesthetic purposes.
The fibreglass repros from Classeparts, do they bolt on, or do they have to be blended in? Fibreglass on ally, without being heavily bolted on is a recipe for disaster ...... more cracks than a Barrymore party.
