Scott,
Over the years the bonnet prop rod was something that got in the way when
servicing the Bugeye. The bonnet stays seem to hold the bonnet secure enough.
after a few times of removing the radiator over the years the bracket you want
was removed and put aside and forgotten. Bob and Annice Kitterer on this list
have a mechanical drawing of the bracket you are looking for and they can send
it to you over your computer. I got one from them. Let me know if you can't
get ahold of them and I will fax it to you if you give me your computer number.
