I'm probably being stupid but can you explain what you mean by stiffeners please?

Re: Bonnet rod stiffeners
I cannot see them on any of the part suppliers' websites. I think your best bet is to buy a secondhand bonnet and cannibalise it. There are some very cheap bonnets out there.
This one is £10 buy it now. Or, try an autojumble.

You're not going to find them available from spares places, it's not a part that's cost effective to make in such small numbers. ebay is probably the best bet, or an autojumble, as firedrake says.
Although given the many hours you could trudge around a field somewhere looking at traders tables, probably a lot more cost effective to use ebay.

Re: Bonnet rod stiffeners
If you're still looking, there is one on ebay at present....
Though they are expecting an excessively high price for it...
