Larry I once owned a square Sprite that had a steel Bug Eye bonnet....I
called it The Bastard Bug Eye. It was set up to open "tip forward" rather
than "alligator".....Sold it to a guy who was going to get into vintage
racing but I have never seen it since so it is probably sitting in a barn
somewhere.

Some time ago, I remember reading an email asking if anybody had done
this... Either I missed the reply or there wasn't one.. Can any one oblige
with some info??? Fibreglass or ABS copy would be OK...

==================
Along these lines, I have 2 fiberglass Bugeye bonnets for sale. One is a
Spridgetech with slight flares that has seen quite a bit of bodywork to get
it as straight as an arrow. It is already set up for forward tilt. It is
ex-Ron Soave and ex-Jeff Porasik from their racecars. A very, very nice
piece.
The other is a handlaid model like Speedwell sells --
http://www.speedwellengineering.com/glasspage.html. Lighter and stronger
than chopper gun bonnets -- you can pick this thing up with one finger.
Ever pick up a steel bonnet? It is brand new, never even painted. It has
an incorporated front airdam. Very tuff looking.
I have decided to go with a stock looking fiberglass bonnet on my Bugeye.
I am open to serious offers on both with a possible trade for an excellent
non-flared glass bonnet a definite possibility. I would rather see these go
to listers than eBay them.
For the truly maniacal fiberglass fan, I also have a fiberglass rear clip
with separate flares ready to be attached. Brand new. Again, a change in
plans to go with a stock look.
If you would like a really snotty-looking, very lightweight Bugeye, these
pieces will get you there. They are in Oshkosh, WI -- about 80 miles north
of Milwaukee.
