John Worrall doesn’t know if the Bonnet Stay designed for the old +8 will do the job on the new +8 and I can't remember what it looked like or its dimensions on my old one. I haven’t contacted Melvyn yet, maybe at Canterbury when I can see a prop again in the flesh and maybe consider if it can be modified to fit.
Birthday coming up next week so will drop a few hint to the son and heir.
