Micky1Mo & ReneAnglia - Funny you should mention a tear drop...
As I did wonder if just clearing the radiator cap itself would be enough to fix the problem (see below).

Gary & RedRatBike - Thanks for the links, although I'd want to continue my Blue Peter / home made tradition.
Especially as the "lumpy" nature of the rest of my body work would make professional parts stand out.

Swifty - I now have a stock pile of solid insulation foam which I could use to make a tear drop shape.
In addition to the scoops that you and
Mr T made, I also read through how you both added bonnet bulges too.

General - Thanks for all the feedback gentlemen.
If I am going to stick to a KISS approach, then a tear drop is definitely easier to make than a scoop.
So I may start by cutting out a suitable hole to clear the radiator cap hope the general curve of the bonnet will clear everything else.
Which leads me to my final question, what is the minimum clearance required between the engine and the bonnet?
Thanks, Paul.
