Default RS Vent Position - Help

I was lucky enough to find someone to cut out a pair of vents from a RST and ship them to Canada. I'm getting ready to weld them in and was look for someone to provide some measurements from their car.



I don't need anything to the 1/1000th of an inch, just something better than me eye-balling it.

Thanks..

Sorry for been so bold, but bonnet vents on the RST are plastic. So welding them on may not be the best option.

What he means is that somebody has also cut out the surrounding metal from the bonnet as well. He will weld this section in and then fit the plastic vents

I'll try and get you some measurements this weekend if I get chance

A = 29,3 cm
B = 20,3 cm
C = 18,7 cm

Maybe this will help you, too:

Thanks Peter!!

John your correct. I had someone cut the surrounding metal out of a old hood (bonnet). I got the idea after read Twins restoration thread.
