Finishing up my Bugeye bonnet and I discovered that I'm missing the handle escutcheon...Moss sells a set with handle for about $70, but I'm hoping someone who changed to a forward tilt might have one they're willing to part with.
Thanks, Rut
 
As with many LBCs it looks like this handle was used on a variety of cars. Triumph used the same setup on the TR4a and Spitfire for the boot, so I can widen my search or canabalize one of my TR4as...

Well, I'm wrong again! The handle that came with my Bugeye is a straight handle version used on many LBCs, but the original Bugeye handle has downward curved tips so the search continues!
