Hi Larry . 

Sorry for the delay in responding , but I've been away for a bit . 

FWIW , the Mk 1 GT 6 had the louvers only on the top part of the bonnet ,
and the MK 2 on the sides ( front wings ) as well . Mk 3 didn't have any
louvers .

I don't have a digital camera , but could post you a hard copy photograph of
the Mk 1 louvers if you're still in need .

Personally I would also like to add the side / wing louvers to my Mk 1 . Any
one have pictures and dimensions they'd be willing to share ? 
Better still , anyone have a totally irreparable scrap Mk 2 bonnet / hood
they'd be willing to cut up and forward only the rear corner wing parts with
the louvers to me ?

Kind regards .

i would like some pics of a gt6 with the louvers in the bonnet.  i believe
they were earlier gt6 years.  i am considering having the cut/put in my 72
gt6
bonnet.  would that be sacrilegious ? i would need some good pics to show
the
body guy.  can anyone send me either .jpg or links ?  i believe martin may
have in the past, but in one of my reloading of ms windows (thank you bill
gates) i have lost all history.  thanks !  larry lstein6@earthlink.net
