see Mk/Mq mount onto the side on the bonnet (on the inside supports) and Gq mount flat on them (if this makes sence)
see on this picture the mounts are mounted Flat
Mq/Mk are mounted to the side of the bonnet support

Very interesting, good work mate.
Keen to see what you have in mind with regards to bonnet scoops.

" If governments are involved in the covering up the knowledge of aliens, Then they are doing a much better job of it than they do of everything else "
Had a friend who used to make carbon bonnets.
First I would like to say yours are very well priced.
Are they complete carbon? or a surface layer of carbon then a few layers of glass?
When my friend was making them he told me (this is from the industry not the registry) that they cannot legally replace the frame the bonnet sits on as this is a structural part of the vehicle, however they can replace the panel 'skin' with out effecting anything as the skin is non structural.
his 2c.
as for re painting a carbon bonnet. If your going to do that, dont bother. realisticly the weight saving on a 2 tonne truck compared to the cost of getting it will not give you benficial power to weigh improvements. if your going to do that just get a glass one or not bother.
The main benefit in a carbon bonnet is that they look cool
if the guy has any, you could also get a carbon/kevlar one made up, its yellow and brown woven together and look sweet as well. its also a tougher material than straight carbon.
my 2c

Scoop to suit a 450x300 intercooler would be perfect.ALPINE-OFF-ROAD wrote:sorry guys havent been around again lol

If you had this I would more than likely buy one. No scoop and no sale for me.

JT Fibreglass in Melbourne does fibreglass bonnets for MK, MQ, GQ and GU he does just a skin or a ribbed and hinge mounts. I,m pretty sure they are all under $400. He does carbin or Kevlar too. This is the Web site.
