Handles indeed should be "handed" -- two lefts, and two rights, so the
"MG" is right-side-up on both sides when the handles are locked--which is
pointing backwards. Both sides rotate up and toward the front (so clockwise
on the right, c-cl. on the left) to release the latches.

Subject: [Mg-t] Bonnet handle orientation
Hi Friends,
Quick question or two, please, regarding bonnet release handles;
With the octagon and 'MG' reading correctly, the bonnet latch handles, from
side to side, cannot extend in the same direction, when latched - or perhaps
the handles should be 'handed' - but mine are all the same. So the question
at hand is:
Assuming that the handles are horizontal when latched, should the 'MG' read
upside down on on the right side, with the handle extending rearward, or
should it read correctly but extending forward? And am I correct in assuming
that both sides release with a counter-clockwise turn? Sadly I removed the
original handles ages ago, and of course, didn't adequately document the
configuration.
Thanks.
