Default Carbon Bonnet for classic?

As title really, who makes a real "lightweight" autoclaved bonnet for a classic?

Im sure that theyre all laid-up. An autoclaved pre-preg bonnet will cost a small fortune...

I know they're a lot more expensive but wasn't sure just how much more.

I'm sure i remember reading a while back that ally bonnets were still available from Subaru for about £400 so if a proper pre-preg bonnet is vastly more ill just try and get hold of a new ally one. Pretty sure wet lay carbon will be heavier than an ally one?

Felt the weight of a carbon fx bonnet the other day and it had to be the lightest by far. About the same as the alley bonnet no more, all the rest are like a steel bonnet.
