Just a comment on that type on hinge, all of which were made by Wilmot
Breedon, be very careful of the profile and angle of the base.
The idea is that when installed the hinge pins are perfectly in line.
If incorrect angle hinges are used a paint job can be ruined ... don't ask
me how I know =F0=9F=99=84

what is
known in Jensen circles as the "early Interceptor" from the=

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

<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 the photo below.<br>
