Sorry for the delay. I have a bunch of photos with a measuring tape, but now I can't find the photo posting instructions and it has been a while. If anyone can direct me to those instructions, I will post a follow up.
(
First off, you can tell that these cars are all hand built, and the bonnet catches all vary a bit on either side. Mine are all factory installed, and I never had the front Dzus fasteners. My bonnet latches have never rattled nor have I had any issues. (Unless the loose nut behind the steering wheel forgets to attach them on one side.)
General measurements:
- Latch bases are all 1in from the inner retention lip that runs the full length on both sides and keeps the bonnet on.
- Front latch is 6in from the front (following the line of the bonnet)
- Rear latch is 9 in from rear seam where the bonnet butts up to the car.
- Bonnet catches are mounted 3 3/8 to 3 1/2 up to catch. This provides enough spring tension to make it tight, but not overly so.
Those are some rough measures. I'll post photos a bit later.
Thanks,
Craig
