All leads so far have fallen though so I am still looking for 1 Lj50 Bonnet.
I an getting desperate as these are the last major parts I need to restore my LJ50 and LJ50V back to original.
I have a windscreen frame to swap if anyone needs one and can come up with anything I need or even a contact to get a grill and/or bonnet

Not sure what sort of access you would have to a plastic welder down your way though....? Can't help with a bonnet.... I would like someone I know to do some fibreglass 50 bonnets.... currently they aren't interested though

I have done one before for a friends 50 in 2 pieces, top piece and then the inside and stuck them together. I'd need a decent condition bonnet to use as a plug.

Skippy, I have a very good clean straight rust free LJ50 bonnet I would be willing to make it vailable to you to take a mould from, in return I would like a fibreglass bonnet from the mould (for cost of material) when my steel bonnet is returned..
Tony I have a couple of very good 50 grilles (and a couple of 80 grilles), I don't particularly want to part with them but pm me with an offer and I may part with a 50 grille purely because I feel your frustration.

Tony, a mate just wrecked his LJ50, I got him to keep a couple of bits including a bonnet. Think it is a bit beat up but probably fixable. I will get my hands on it in a couple of weeks and get some pics, freight might be the killer here tho...
