'bow' under my bonnet...FB vs EK..

Post by skin_dog »

Hey all,
As the topic says, i have a bow in the bonnet.
It sits somewhat flush at each end but halfway along each guard it's proud about 8mm.
This leads me to two questions:

1- Can this be fixed?
2- If not will an FB bonnet with an FB bonnet bar fit? Hope so because i'd prefer the smooth FB bonnet bar look...

Cheers

If you go FB you'll also need to change the indicator assemblies as the profiles of the bonnet bars are different between FB and EK.

The other factor would be cost, FB bonnet bars are pricey! You can also just bolt the EK bar on an FB bonnet.

Wow DR, quick reply, thought i'd be waiting a while on this one, thanks.

My love of the EK indicator assemblies is equal to that of the FB bonnet bar, so if i can't fix my bonnet then i guess it'll be up to availability.
