Anyone else want a FibreGlass Bonnet for a GU

Post by srowlandson »

I am struggling to find one (as mine is bent, and i rather buy fibre than a Factory one)

Hayden from Alpine Offroad can make them, but the demand has to be there to recover the cost of production etc.

So, Who Else is keen???

I can vouch for Hayden's bonnets for the GQ. Look really good and very light. Easily taken of by 1 person, only real problem is that they are so light that the wind almost blows them out of your hands.

Another advantage is that he has them held down with 4 bonnet pins, making it easy to remove the bonnet completely.

So im guessing here but these bonnets are only just a skin right not with all the bracing under them?
In Qld you will get defected for a glass bonnet if it is not as strong or stronger than stock.

The one he is running on his GQ is basically a skin with a small amount of bracing. It will twist and flex in your hands. He is planning on redesigning them with more bracing to make them stronger.
