vixen bonnet hinge

[tomtrout]

This is one job that took longer than expected but my bonnet has now been reunited with the body. Getting the bonnet to fit properly was a real pain and I had to buy a die to lengthen the threads on the bonnet hinges to ensure a good fit. So if anybody is in the same predicament and you want to borrow a 1/2" unf die then you are always welcome to borrow mine.

Yes - it's starting to look a bit like your car!

Hmm, very nice. Not a job I am looking forward to as I have no hinge piece, the bonnet frame is rusted to nothing and the slots are yet to be drilled in the plate. Too much room for SNAFU

Seen these?

Yes I saw that nice side vent but I'm looking for one side slat to add to the five I already have for my S2. I believe the zephyr/zodiac vent was fitted to the later cars. I'm sure the slats shouldn't be too difficult to make for somebody with a bit of sheet metal skill - that counts me out!
