I don't know much about it, but Delanair made the complex and highly unreliable jaguar HVAC control units. I have one in my '75 XJ12C - climate control in the 70's go figure. Anyhow, there is a manua

I believe the bullseye pick is actually for fine work. The hammer and dolly are for the larger work. Once the panel is close to right with the body hammer and dolly, you sand it to find minor highs a
