Title: Gutting the bonnet
Post by: Petrus on November 16, 2022, 12:12
Giving up on an affordable lighweight bonnet.
The next ´best´ thing seems to be taking (part of) the reïnforcing structure on the underside out. Gutting the hood, making a change from gutting precats  :))

Anyway, has anyone here done that and weighed the gains?

Thanks.

´So, the grinder was employed and a few kilos shed. Bonnet from 11 to 6kg.´ - @AdamR28

As I want to retain the outer rim, I expect to shed less than 2 kgs, but hey, for free  8)
