Seems to me no more than about twenty pounds, but I haven't got one with me to weigh.

If I can get it on the scales when I have removed it from the back of the Traveller I will let you know.

Yes you can get a Morris Minor bonnet in the back of a Traveller - sideways

They aren't heavy, I had mine off yesterday to add soundproofing, but never thought to weigh it before refitting I'm afraid

The soundproofing probably weighed as much as the bonnet!

B = A+ B - A = 12.5 kg with fittings
Where A = Me, B = Bonnet

A bit heavier than I thought! 12.5 kilos is ~27 pounds. I guess I'm stronger than I look! :lol:
