so i replaced my badly repaired frame with an undamaged spit frame and knew i had to change some things over. I've removed my original radiator and overflow bottle mounts, rotoflex wishbone mount, and the bonnet hinge boxes. i'd looked over the manual several times, noting that there were millions of measurements i could use to put these on my new frame, but when the time came, i noticed that there are no measurements in my book for the bonnet hinge boxes.
So...anyone with a mk3 gt6 wanna make some measurements? it would be nice to have three or four, to get an averaged idea of placement. worst case scenario, i can try to guestimate placement when it comes time to reassemble (but i'd rather have measurements).
i was thinking of measuring the distance between the two inside edges (assuming parallel), distance from inside edge of hinge box to inside edge of main frame rail, and a height measurement to make sure i place them well vertically (but i'm not sure of a fixed datum that would be common accross all gt6's).
any help would be appreciated, like pointing out that there are in fact dimensions in the factory manual that i somehow overlooked in my fit of anger (angry at myself and the manual).
and yes, next time i won't assume (i hope...).
