My 88 Ur-q now has a bonnet donated from my 83 CGT, all the hardware swapped
over without problems. The bonnet fitted to my 81 Ur-q has also got all the
holes and slots required for the strut brackets to fit. All three bonnets
have both the slots for the strut brackets and the hole for the single prop.
