dude... i've been searching for the exact same thing you have... chances are very slim for getting one as you've probably discovered, they are sooo rare...

however your idea of getting a fibre glass one i'm interested in, i'd also like to know all the details for one of those... i must have that style bonnet... will make the 22 rule!

the only other thing i thought of, was to get a 23 bonnet... which i have in my posesion, and then get access to a boiler maker and a panel beater which i also have access too... (wen i get cash)... and then split the bonnet's frame from the top skin... reshape the skin to the correct size, u'd need to skim both edges, and router the wipers end of the bonnet to keep shape and then do the same to a noral size bonnet, swap the newly shaped skin with the 22 frame... altho i think u'd then need to try and cut out the centre part of the frame where the bonnets differ and weld in the centre part of the origonal frame to keep it's strenght...

hopefully u kept up with all of that... but neways, so far this has been my only theory as a way to get the "mean" looking bonnet i want... i've done a bit of research and theoretically i guess it could be done... alot of work tho...

the only prob i can find is that towards the outer edges of the 23 bonnet, they lip down sorta, where the 22 bonnet is flat... so i think if i get everything done the wipers end of the bonnet will stick up... ???

i duno... what ever it takes to get me that bonnet i guess

thanks
jamie
