Bonnet scoop

Hi, I have a Turtle shell looking scoop on an EK bonnet. Is this a NASCO accessory or just a after market job for these FB/EK's or another model ?. I'd put a picture on but my skills won't let me. Cheers Steve

Have to poked it in the "BUTT" to check that it isn't a turtle sleeping on the bonnet??

looks like someone's had a filter out the bonnet and needed to cover the hole up, it looks like a fruit bowl or a tupperware container

maby its a super rare NASCO fruit bowl

chuck it on ebay, could be worth a fourtune

Looks like javascript:emoticon(':roll:') doesn't help much.But it's good to see other enthusiasts with similar limited knowledge as myself. Thanks

well there ya go - so it does ! Isnt technology wonderful ?

Still looks like a roof vent off a bullwagon though... although the colour of it COULD indicate its off an FC PMG van

Man, I reckon that's an early COLD AIR INDUCTION system. Might have been linked straight on top of the Strommie for max oxygen combustion?

Have we stumbled across the very first Walkinshaw ???????

Steve - does the van still have a motor in it which would require a bit of extra clearance where this "turtle" scoop is ? Perhaps the PO needed some room and he had this thing lying around, is there a hole in the bonnet under it ?
