Hi Bruce and Spridgeteers,<br>
My stupid question is, what do you mean by flasher is that hazard lights?<br=

I'm making sure my little 62 Spridget electrical are all sorted out and<br>
nothing new like 4way flashers as my LBC is my learning tool to the<br>
wonderful world of basic auto electrics....LOL.<br>
Thanks Lin<br>

&gt; We had an awful time getting the bonnet locating pins in the tiny holes=
 on<br>
&gt; the hinges, even with four people,&nbsp; but they finally dropped in.&n=
bsp; Now one<br>
&gt; side of the bonnet is too far forward, and it feels like the pins are<b=

&gt; preventing the necessary adjustment.&nbsp; I don't remember if it was t=

&gt; before.&nbsp; I suspect that a lot of bonnets have long since lost thos=
e pins to<br>
&gt; bending, anyway.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Any thoughts on the value of those pins for a well-aged bonnet?<br>
