Will check this today. As it is just a single, loud squeak - it does sound like body panels working against each other. Could not find anything in the front suspension that seemed loose or worn (only about 2K miles on it) and the drive belt looks centered, no dramatic wear of the cogs.


I believe I just found another source of squeaks. It is the panel that attaches to the cowl covering the electrics and the behind the dash area.

This appears to be the source of the tinny high pitch bird sound. I will cover in leather or the tape that is on the front of the bonnet.
