55 inch wide
40 inch front to back
7 inch high
Bonnet measured off car. This is the bonnet which was replaced after the car was front ended but as far as I can tell it won't be much out.

Many many thanks , im trying to see if shipping a 2nd hand one from Japan is viable .

Damn , the Bonnet is too big for posting , as in it will be way to expensive , so i am still on the hunt for a bonnet .

Maybe you could ask Streeter to ship it via LCL (less-than-container). Might take a while longer since it would might have to be re-shipped to Dublin but probably not very expensive. I think he's done that before.

FYI, there are outfits nowadays that have it all computerized and make it relatively easy for private individuals to ship by LCL. I did it last summer and saved a fortune over what a commercial mover would have cost for shipping miscellaneous household goods from USA to Japan.

I've sent Jesse a msg , cheers for the tip .

[beecee]

No joy , mostly single items being sent by Jesse ? Lcl is only cheap when you are sharing the cost of a pallet .

[steveinjapan]

Well... maybe..., the LCL deal is that the consolidators handle the sharing process (Honda parts, soy sauce, TV sets, whatever) and everyone benefits. Maybe that isn't so well known in Japan yet.

I will see if I can find someone else , Jesse is not willing at the moment , the Beat bonnet search goes on .
