Now then guys and galls and all them in between (looking at jack)

I need to put a raise in my bonnet above my carb as it sits a good 2 inches higher then the bonnet with the air filter on it.

I have seen a red mini on here with a "bubble" thing facing back towards the screen, what is this?

and where can i get them from?


also, any pictures?

thanks guys

A Scoop? A Bump?

Edit: ABS Motorsport has some bonnets with "Power Bulges"


Bonnet (Requires Pins or Fasteners to fit) - £53


Bonnet with Hinge Plates and Catch Mount - £90

While we are all on the this subject; I have just fitted twin twin/choke Webers to the front of my 7 port head and have found (as expected) the linkage mechanism fouls the bonnet so I`ll need to put a "power bulge" in to clear it. Do any of you know where I can get one off the shelf to fit. I am capable of making one myself but I`d rather get things right straight off. At the moment if I try to shut the bonnet it sits proud of the moustache by about an inch and a half. I quite like the idea of a bulge but I want a nice one.

Or just change the linkage to one that does not get in the way?

[Mini-Hazel-Nut]

Damn! I thought you were gonna be helpful lol. The linkage has to stay as-is I`m afraid so a bulge it has got to be. I know there is an option of putting under the carbs but access to the plugs is already difficult enough which is why I put them in first.
