Default Cosworth 4x4 bonnet vents...hen's teeth?

Hi folks,

I'm restoring a 2wd saph and the bonnet had some rot, so I've gone down the 4x4 bonnet route as a replacement. The guy who sold me the bonnet wouldn't sell the vents with the bonnet as he was going to use them again, so I took the bonnet without the vents, assuming that they'd be easy enough to pick up.

Can't find a set anywhere! Any ideas?

Cheers,

Brian.

Defo agree matey. No point making a 2wd saff look like a 4x4.

Thanks for the help and input folks. Hopefully buying Marky G's spare set.

The original 2WD bonnet was rotten on the front leading edge, so no good to repair. I was going to get another 2wd bonnet, but a 4x4 one became available for buttons so I went for it just now until the car is finished. I'll probably put a non-vented bonnet back on at some stage once the car is back on the road.

Cheers,

Brian.
