MG MGA - bonnet (hood)support

Hi all
Does anyone have a good pic of the bonnet support piece that runs from wing to wing inside the shroud. Mine is horribly mutilated and I think I need to make a new one. Not sure of the shape.

Matthew, I think that these are available new from Kilmartins in Vic.

Matthew,

I'm just in the process of renewing mine (apparently called the 'bonnet landing platform') for the same reason.

Obviously I can speak for all suppliers of this part, but expect to need to do some fettling. Mine needed shortening by about 8mm each side and one of the support brackets relocating.

Chris.

From personal experience, the Kilmartin manufactured bonnet support piece fits perfectly without any modification, as do all their parts.

Thanks Chris ( I hail from Hereford myself)
Gary, yes I've used Kilmartin panels: well made, good price and great fit. Actually, I've made the piece. I think it's ok. It fits well, I just hope it's the right shape. Pic attached: old and new.
