There was a guy on here that was supposed to be working on a nose molded in a new material around the original steel cores, but I haven't heard from him lately.[/QUOTE]

I think you might be talking about me,,,
I was working on reproducing the nose pieces,, I have the origional one done, that I intend to use on my bonneville,, I still need to make the mold and find some old nose pieces that I can get the metal support structure from then I can finish them up

I kinda got side tracked by my wife into remodeling our house, [[we all know how that works I'm sure]
Here are some pictures of the one I made,, notice that I made it to eliminate the gap between the hood and nose where the rubber gasket usually goes,, and fits the hood lines better,, I guess I could make them either way, I plan on getting back on this project real soon,,

Had some trouble loading pictures because of size,, these are the only 2 that would load,, but you get the idea, I hope

If I had enough people interested, and could help me find some old nose pieces I could get the mounting structure off of, I could get some made,,, The out side shell would be fiberglass for ease of finishing but the inside would be a solid composit material that would be a direct replacement part,, just paint and bolt it on in the origional holes, with the origional backing structure,,,
