Tom,

I just took some pictures for you with a measuring tape for reference.  I
hope this answers your questions.  My front fenders are 100% original, never
bent or damaged in any way.  I think you will see from the pictures the
measurement you want.

You can find the pictures on the 6-Pack online forum.  Here is the thread I
started for you:

I hope this helps.

Subject: [6pack] Bonnet buffer wedge position

Hello,

I need to install the 4 rubber wedges that keep the hood/bonnett from
rubbing against the inner fenders when it's down. The problem is that I
replaced the tops of my inner fenders, so the holes are gone. I'd like to
position them as close as possible to the original location.

Could someone please take a moment and measure the location of the center of
their bonnet buffers from a reference point, such as the cowl panel or the
bonnet support cones? I notice there's a raised boss stamped in one place
toward the aft side of the inner fenders; does one set of buffers go on
this? Finally, does the flat bottom side of the buffers go all the way down
against the fenders, or are they "raised" to some degree? 

Thanks again, Tom
