NEV’s Cerbera and Chimaera bonnet rods

[LittleBlackCerby]

As many of you know I’ve made and sold a little over 100 bonnet rods both the same size and a extended version for both cars.
I’m looking for some feedback, pictures and reviews from anyone who’s bought one.

Probably over priced, over designed and heavy.
I’ve not bought one for my Chim yet but they look great to me.

Where can I get one from

[LittleBlackCerby]

What you meant to say is very well designed and so much stronger with very little weight gain it’s amazing. 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, I’ve seen the pictures but I’ve been busy buying other expensive crap or I’d have had one by now.

I’ll contact you on FB Nev

Shame on you. To be fair I know the feeling though Al, I’ve spent far to much on crap for mine 🤣
Looks good though!

I know I hate missing out on a group buy

I’ll be in touch probably next year when I actually re build the car ffs!

Be worth it though m8.

Can anyone do this sort of improvement for a Griffith?

Nicely done I like that !

[Belle427]

Nicely made product but my only criticism is that you have to remove the original Tvr ball from the bonnet and fit the supplied one, which is easier said than done as it has an inaccessible nut on the back.
Could it be made to just fit the original bonnet ball?
No offence intended.

[LittleBlackCerby]

I totally agree with you, problem is that because of the quick release fitting if you match up to the standard ball joint to fit inside it would have to be huge which then in turn adds more weight and it would catch on the inner wing. I did look into it. Changing the ball joint isn’t a hard job. Yes you have to drill your way into the box on the Chimaera but it’s not rocket science and or time consuming. It’s a small price to pay for a rod that’s twice as strong, safer and longer than the crap original one that bends and falls off 😀
