OK, question from a relative newbie

I have a question.

Having worked on American cars all my life, and admittedly only really
discussed cars with other Americans (before our British friends get upset,
please read on), I am unfamiliar with a few terms used by people from the
other side of the pond.  It took me a while to figure out what a "bonnet"
was, but what is a trunion?  It that the same sort of deal, where Americans
call it one thing and British call it another?

I have to admit I feel pretty stupid asking this, because having totally
stripped my Spit down, I have seen more of a Spit then a lot of long time
Spit owners who have opted to not remove the shell from the frame, but I
still don;t know the proper terminology...  Can anyone help?  I think Vic's
page has the Glossary on it, but I don't remember there being a "trunion"
listed...

Thanks!

Bob
