Bill,

That still leaves you needing the crosspiece that is attached to the edges
of the bonnet but that can be faked with a simple piece of flat stock. I am
also missing that particular piece but have the other bits. I removed
everything from the inside of the bonnet until I could get around to
fabricating the crosspiece. It has been 6 months now and I have seen no
problem with leaving the entire mass of stuff off the car. Maybe the Datsun
motor is just too smooth to shake the bonnet but I see no vibration,
shaking, juddering, tap dancing or any hint that it is actually needed.
Until I see some problem or hear a really good horror story, I plan on
leaving all that stuff hanging on the garage wall.
Regards,
Glen Byrns
