Yes that's the idea, but I want to DIY it rather than a moulded insert, looks good tho :-)

Well, how far from the bonnet hinge, and how deep really to avoid problems with the gear change, Just something I've wanted to do for years and never got round too, and it may have some practical use, as I quite like the idea of making the car good for trials here abouts.

You're welcome to borrow mine to check. In fact, I might even part with it.

No problem, Wiltz. Just give me a buzz or drop me a line. I made mine using the plansI found in a very early 2CVGB news .
