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.

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......

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!

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

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...........

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.
Members are very welcome to assist the OP relating to sourcing a replacement hood etc - but not to make further comment relating to his earlier comments or this thread will be 'locked-down.'
