bonnet
kj - 6/3/10 at 06:00 PM

Wanted bonnet for a locost, had a hole for my k& n before going to bike carbs and cut a hole for the new filters to come through, but it leaves a hole near the carb cut out and looks a bit naff.
I have a scoop but not sure on that.
So thought i would ask first before i make a new one.

Cheers

Depending where it is you might be able to make a neat patch. Here's my effort after I changed from "over the rail" exhaust headers

Is more cooling going to be a bad thing? Can you not put some mesh in behind the hole and glue or rivet it on? I think that looks very cool, and is what I'm going to be doing as a next winter project. It will probably turn into a late spring one though!

Hi Humbug,

the picture of my bonnet on my aviator picture if you imagine half the K&n hole still visable to the centre of the bonnet.
