Tim S Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Beware - there are different bonnets even for same model/year: carb cut outs do vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted August 13, 2020 Author Area Representative Share Posted August 13, 2020 yes interesting stuff, this is a late 80's 7, louvres differ from my HPC but I think I may need to go to a metal man to see if the exg bonnet can be brought back to life OR visit Arch as suggested via a PM (thanks Ian).

paul jacobs Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I've got a bare ali bonnet, originally off an early '90's HPC Vx 2.0l The only trouble is it has a cut out on the opposite side for an over the chassis exhaust system. I guess it could be filled in, or fit an actual set of over the chassis primaries.Anyway, I don't want much for it, say £25, so if there is a bit of money to spend on it, you should still be in funds,BM me if interested and I can send some pictures.Paul.

john g Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I may be wrong but I thought the cut out for the carbs was dependent on whether it was a xflow or Vauxhall engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted August 13, 2020 Author Area Representative Share Posted August 13, 2020 the 2.0 vx and xflow share the same carb outlets, the vx 8v had them on the opposite side.Paul I'll send a BM over as I can't picture what you're describing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightpayne Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Just looked in the Sevens and Classics website, who have a 1.6 live axle vauxhall and the carbs are on the drivers side and exhaust on the passenger side so that may have the same cut outs.Arch would know.RegardsIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The cut out on a 8v Vauxhall is slightly further back than it is on a XFlow bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted August 14, 2020 Author Area Representative Share Posted August 14, 2020 Thanks all that replied, think we're sorted, collecting one hopefully over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Great, thanks for letting us know Andrew. In the meantime, if anyone wants a bare Ali HPC bonnet that has been hacked around a bit, but otherwise in perfect condition, BM me for a picture. (Sorry about the thread hijack Andrew, figured you were OK now?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
