    That's probably a very good idea. Much more stable .Think I'll move them out to the widest position too when I'm fitting the 3 point linkage.

    That's the view of the dash and bonnet....not happy with it. I made the dash to the same shape as the original yrs back. I didn't have the original bonnet plus didn't/don't have the skill or equipment to fold the bonnet to the original shape so the bonnet stays and the dash will get pimped to...
