Before I start my metal work, I thought I would buy a BE bonnet tilt kit. With it in place I thought I could better align the panels... I really don't want to build my own kit, any feedback on which kit is best?
 
I honestly do not know which forward tilt kit is "best" given that I haven't examined the characteristics of every kit but when I first obtained my Bugeye it had a forward tilt kit that made use of a sliding bar that propped up the bonnet. I was less than enchanted with it, however, and opted to install the kit produced by Speedwell Engineering. I really like the characteristics of Speedwell's kit.
