Thanks for the reply, Andy. I suspect I will have problems with the Coventry
Climax fouling the existing bonnet as it is quite a tall OHC engine. I was
considering replacing the bonnet with either a GT6 spec Honeybourne Mouldings
GRP 'Le Mans replica' (with the fared in head lights) or a GT6 spec Chic Doig
'rally' GRP bonnet (with the 'frog-eye' spotlights).
We shall see. Bonnet selection will be some while off yet as I still have to
save up to rebuild the engine. Coventry Climax spares are priced for people
with Lotus, not Triumph sized restoration budgets!
cheers,
Paul
