I have managed to fit the chrome bonnet hinges.
The bonnet will need some final fettling when it comes to painted but for now its not a bad fit

I have also managed to fit the radiator lower cradle.
Having had it chromed plated , upon trial fitting I didn't like it showing below the front of the car so I had to raise it. This meant chopping off the end each side (at an angle so the radiator tilts back so that it fits in) re drilling the holes and then painting the bare metal.

I have fitted a rubber spacer between the bracket and the body.
After this photo was taken, I turned the bolts around to give the radiator more room.

Stainless billet brake pipe clamps fitted (thanks Adam T for modifying them)
The final job last weekend was to modify the chassis to accept the chrome plated engine mounts I have bought.h
I suspect it the thickness of the plating which required tat I remove about 0.5mm from the welded tubes. They are all repainted ready to accept the engine.
