et voila.  I managed to get a replacement bonnet for 90GBP but if you want to repair the damaged bonnet you could.  Remove the old, hacked catch assembly (two screws) then fibreglass a patch to the inside of the top edge.  source and fit a new catch assembly.

I made a template by tracing round the "retaining catch assembly" on the replacement bonnet then carefully hacked out the appropriate section of the upper skin.

in close-up you can see the back side of the "retaining catch assembly".  if you can cut within the outer retaining studs you will be able to replace the assembly with a replacement

This is the back of the connector that is screwed to the diecast box.  Seems to have only three connections., the middle one disintegrated as I withdrew the connector from the box
