hi there ppl,
i was given a cinq bonnet a little while back from a fellow FFer and it was in a bit of a mess, i have been doing little bits and bobs on it, taking dents out, debadging etc over spare time, and eventualy decided to badboy it the thing is, where i have put the brow plates in, there is a small gap around the edge, i have tack welded the plates in place, and trial fitted, the bonnet will fit once i elongate the hinge holes
i'm just wondering should I fully weld the plates from behind (obviously in sections to prevent distortion) or could i just fill the little gap (only about 1mm at the largest part) with 2 part metal filler?
I have attached some pics of the bonnet in question
Thanks guys!
Lenny
