brighouse shed Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 go with the hood scoop and then you can get four extra gauges along it's trailing edge to give oil pressure, oil temp, water temp and boost pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Just do what Mo Murphy had on his 90 and pop rivet half a large roasting dish to the top of the bonnet as a scoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What is it that doesn't fit? IIRC MGB enthusiasts lower the plenum chamber and shorten the trumpets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range Rover Blues Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 File out the holes in the bonnet hinges and lift the back edge of the bonnet? like they do on tuned Beetles but with the engine where it belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Surely Nige you should just follow your recent workshop track record and simply open the bonnet and stick your head underneath? When it slams down on your bonce it should make the perfect power bulge and you'll have the added bonus of another hilarious tale to recount to us!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I sold some fiberglass bonnets with a power bulge some time ago, @ €180+VAT. I could see if they still make 'em, if you're interested. Filip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Nige, your supposed to cut a hole in the bonnet for the supercharger(s) to poke through not hide it under a bonnet bulge........of course it would then mean it was easier to get to with the autosol aswell.....

Anderzander Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not cheap ... but an option and probably cheaper than a puma bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 What ever you fit, it needs perspex viewing panels so we can all see that sexy engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 The perspex will probably melt. To achieve 8mpg all that heat has to go somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
