The rubber seal at the back of the bonnet should seal against the body so that if there is a fire or fuel leak it cannot enter the inside of the car through the vent in the scuttle panel. If you still want some then it should be cheap enough to get a couple of plates of metal made up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never though of it that way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anton green 12 1 Cars Posted March 28, 2008 You can probably get half an inch by slackening off the bolts which secure the rear edge of the bonnet, repositioning, then retightening the bolts. Beware the bonnet may not close as it did before on the latch very well, of if it does it may not want to open easilly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan 0 Posted March 28, 2008 An auto bonnet would also offer more clearance (there's usually a few for sale on here or on Ebay). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i have already got a nice shint bonnet to go on it, so i think i would get away with liftig it just a bit. But the carbs to sit quite high though.
