Do those clowns put vehicles on the scales as well? If so I definitely will be steering clear

OK, rang supplier and bonnets are ADR approved in all states and territories of Australia. VIN and reg required for certificate as Nissannewby stated last night, no bonnet avail for GQ but can be done. A single mould would cost 4k but if an order is placed for 5 bonnets cost reduces to circ 1k plus shipping. They need a GQ bonnet for a mould. This new bonnet would also be fully adr compliant. I might go this way, will appraise on the effect MB gets out of his. Mu bonnet gills are yet to be really proven as the vehicle overheated last weekend due to a faulty viscous coupling and shroud design deficiency due to the change in fan blade installed after my exploding fan blade on trip previous to this.

The bonnet scoop from Cross country also arrived with a certificate . Which is now laminated and sitting in the car .

I was quite impressed with the shipping charge being only $136 QLD <> VIC , $0.08pkm is pretty fair I reckon for a big awkward bonnet!

Sorry MB I haven't been keeping up, but what are you hoping to gain from this flash looking bonnet?

Bigger under bonnet air space mate for the Chev’s summer heat and looking to direct some flow onto multiple alternators. The 170amp pimped up GQ single alt spasmodically let me down in the hills last weekend. Looking to go say 2x 120amp jobbies squeezed under there is the theory:-)

Hey @MB, was stuffing around under the bonnet again today after resurrecting the difflock compressor assy and started into the endless air project to fit the pump. Anyway, after a bit of heartache, decided to go the path of running a jack shaft and driving the compressor similar to how you are thinking of doing your alternators. Couple of differenDSC01939.JPGDSC01940.JPGDSC01941.JPGDSC01939.JPGDSC01940.JPGDSC01941.JPGt versions later believe I have a winner and brackets are all on top of the engine instead of under it, so a bonus. Photos show concept. Bonnet shuts without a problem. Sure its tight but it will work well.
