Hope it all works out ok.
Like I say mate never had an issue as it was. When it's back we will see. Only way id ever change to a vented bonnet is if mark said you need bonnet vents.
But to be fair if there was a heat issue under my bonnet as it was you would see it in the temp gauge or damage to the paint on the bonnet
I had an oil temp gauge as well and never see that hot enough to worry about
