Dan,
I just went out and measured both my '74 Spit, and the '71 GT6 frame I have.
Both are 27 1/4" center to center. I measured the vertical slots on the
front of the brackets. I also have a '76 Spit tub with a '72 GT6 bonnet
mounted sitting in storage. That bonnet slid into the mounts just fine, so
I believe the mounts should be the same. Could your bonnet have bent hinge
tubes or something similar?
Let me know if you need anything else measured.

Subject: [Spits] Location of Pivot Boxes
Can anyone confirm the spacing of the front pivot boxes for a GT-6? The
space between the center holes for my 1980 Spit and my 1977 Spit parts car
indicates that the two pivot boxes center front holes should be 27 = inches
apart, but the new GT-6 Bonnet has a spacing between the pivot points of 26
= inches. Is there a difference between an 1972 GT-6 and later square-tail
Spitfire? I only want to weld these once.
TIA
