Hi guys, sorry I missed this thread.

I am not at home tonight, but happy to take a measurement and post up if you can wait a few days.

being an anorak, I noticed that most replicas have the eye-shaped base, and most CSX cars have the round base. So when I ordered my crendon, i got Hawk to supply the bonnet klacthes which i then forwarded on to John Kerr at Crendon when he was building up my kit. He then fitted these for me.

It maybe wortgh adding that i think original ali bodied cars have a budget lock under each latch, rather than the tongue or lobe often attached to the latch shaft used on replicas. My car has the usual lobe to secure the bonnet in the closed position.

Kevin
