Default Dimensions and weight for series 2/3 bonnet

Would anybody be able to give me the rough dimensions and weight for the high profile bonnet?

Any help is appreciated.

Bought one off ebay?! If so, and you're upgrading from a low series bonnet, just measure you're existing one, it won't be far off.

Weight wise, I'd take a stab at 15-20kgs.

As I said, just measure your S1 bonnet - the dimensions will be pretty much the same. Yes I know that the S2/3 bonnets sort of sit higher up at the front, but it's not going to make any difference to freight costs.

It was just a guess, but if you've ever picked up a falcon bonnet, you'd say they are reasonably heavy. Just go for the worst case scenario of 25kg, and at least that way you're covered.

Pretty sure the stock bonnet weighs around 18kg. Dimensions should be the same as series 1 bonnet - just add 50mm to the thickness though, as the AU2 bonnet sits up where the AU1 one sits in.
