Can't help much with the letters. cheers, Shayne. Title: Re: holes in bonnet Post by: NES304 on April 18, 2006, 07:16:26 AM cheers mate

Title: Re: holes in bonnet Post by: Jonno on April 27, 2006, 03:39:50 AM not an easy thing to describe as the bonnet is curved but this photo should get you to within a few mm. The pins for the letters on this bonnet seem to average 84mm apart (with some variation in there!), while the dimensions of the top and bottom pins from the lip are also shown (this from the part where it just starts to curve down). Note also holes for top pins are larger than ones for bottom.
