I do not think that would be a problem, being clear enough when fitted.

Thanks all for the advise given.

                        <p>A friend of mine is working on a Jensen
                          Interceptor, not the well known large coupe's
                          from the late 1960's early 1970's but what is
                          known in Jensen circles as the "early
                          Interceptor" from the 1950's based on an
                          adapted Austin platform with a 4ltr Austin
                          engine. It would not be surprising if the
                          Interceptors bonnet hinges are the same as on
                          the boot of one of the big Healey's, as both
                          cars were built by the Jensen factory.
                          Probably a lot of common parts were used.<br>
                        </p>

                        <p>Alan at Kestrel believes the bonnet hinges on
                          the early Interceptor are Big Healey boot
                          hinges, they certainly look the same. SC Parts
                          of Crawley do these relatively cheaply,
                          probably cheaper than trying to rechrome the
                          existing, but what SC parts will never do is
                          check dimensions to ensure they are actually
                          the same as their stock comes from Germany and
                          isn't to hand for measuring (AH Spares will
                          measure anything but oddly their price for the
                          same hinges is much higher, usually it is the
                          other way around). So is there anyone out
                          there with an Austin Healey 3000, or a Daimler
                          Dart/SP250 as S C Parts list the same hinges
                          for both cars, who could check the dimensions
                          of the hinges? What i am trying to match is as
