Hi Paul, the bonnet cut was fairly recent in my 5 year build, I was fed up with the alignment and kicking out of the leg so took the drastic action.
It's actually improved access with the bonnet raised .
For the return edge and bonnet closing I fabricated a 90 degree length in fibreglass and attached this inside on the extension, I fixed the backside 5-10 MM. higher than the bonnet edge to give something to butt against, once it was set I bridged across to the bulk head just for strength. Will try to get a picture tonight as I forgot at the time.
