thanks for that , yes you are right , needs to be the longer hood ....Early C3 hood (with vacuum wiper flap) is physically shorter than later hood so not interchangeable.
Hi yes , i know the chap who has that one for sale , unfortunately the 77 and onwards have a different latching mechanism which cannot be swapped over without a whole lot of grief......There’s also a 1977 hood on eBay @£500
Well thats just not true. I've spent a good deal of time on the phone with you about bonnets, I've sent you pictures of alternatives etc etc. You bought the bonnet on Ebay and then started questioning the latch positions, once I had replied about that, you then started querying the underwood ducting and saying you needed time to decide if you wanted it or not, so I cancelled the order and refunded you, saying it would be better if you stuck with a bona fide 76 bonnet instead of an earlier one, then you announce on a public forum that I am difficult to deal with!Thankyou .... i have seen the yellow one up close in his workshop , tried to buy it but Scott is not easy to deal with so gave up , he has an actual 1976 hood but to damaged to consider ......... sorry to hear about your Dad , always very sad .
Sorry to hear that Nassau - had a fair bit of all this historically - my wife is going through all this following the death of her younger sister a moth ago. Just when you think you're getting to grips with the emotional elements of a loved one passing away........other things/people appear out or the woodwork...........Thank you. Unfortunately my daddy passed away, so I’ve had a lot to deal with both here and in Florida. I kept an eye on all the posts, but wasn’t really up to posting anything until today.
I'll say this just once........this thread has remained very polite so far - one of our supporting traders has exercised his right of response to comments made by a CCCUK member. Thanks Scott for explaining your side of events. Let's just all leave it there please.Well thats just not true.

Not cool dude. Every time you have called me I have been very helpful to you.
