Looks well Dave. How much more lighter is it over the standard bonnet?

it's so light, much much lighter than the standard!!

Just have to source some plain black jet washers, the old ones were too big and i didn't fancy trying to squeeze em in....knowing my luck as of late i would have cracked it or something!

Believe it is 4 kgs to the standard bonnets 14kg - so a nice bit of weight saving there.

Dave - What happened the TM front??

i've seen that alright!! but it's a little out of my price range at the moment plus i think it's a different weave pattern than the bonnet!!
