Jag - Thanks (I think
), but it is more rubbing down for me.

Nervous Wreck
A lull at work left me at home today being driven mad by the fact it was still raining.
But during the the first dry spell we've had in days I finally got to see what the bolt locks looked like.
This really does appear to be a rare KISS solution for my build, so I will give this a go.
Although I still need to decide where to position them, this is either side of the rear view mirror aero screen.
And this is a bit further apart, although I really need to be able to trust the weather and remove the covers for a better view.
I am currently waiting for a slightly thicker rubber strip to test how that will affect how the bonnet sits.
So I will make a final decision once I can test things with that in place.
I will also need to drill some holes to fit a pair of Union Jacks I have for the sides of the bonnet.
I then removed the upper bonnet straps from both sides.
Then it was some seriously hard work to sand down the filler on the body shell extensions.
By which point the dark clouds were starting to return.
But I figured it was worth the risk and brushed on some etch primer.
Then I used a dust sheet to keep the bonnet off the fresh paint.
As I was packing everything away, the rain was definitely on its way, which was making me very nervous.
Thankfully, the etch primer was touch dry by the time I got the covers back on.
So that's all for today, not much, but certainly better than nothing.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
