Mr T - That was always my plan.
But messing about with tie down straps & these brackets being in the way every time I remove & refit the bonnet is slowly getting to me.
( The bonnet gives the engine extra protection from the elements while under a cover on my drive. )
I'll certainly wait until
Scottie's gets a re-body inspection on his A352/XKSS, as his Spitfire chassis looks like the blue one above.
Cheers, Paul.
PS
Obviously this wouldn't be an issue at all if there wasn't so much work to do before my re-body inspection can take place.
