Series III bonnet catches
« on: January 26, 2015, 12:01:40 PM »
Hello all, I've changed my bonnet over and the brass 'hooks' on the bonnet need to be re-sited. Can anyone please tell me what the placement/measurement should be in relation to the guard mounted catch?   :-\ Are there technical drawings available? I'd rather drill once and get it right

any help greatly appreciated

umm, I don't have a series 3 bonnet any more, but if you look at some of the photos they might give a good reference.

Better yet, any series 3 owners in your area.

Perhaps diana could get measurements off hers?

Its not uncommon to see 2 sets of holes there will be plenty of series at corowa to check on. I have not seen any measurements it might be best to work backwards put the clamps in locked position and drill to match
