[Healeys] Installing bonnet lock

[Rich C]

Sam,

I suspect you are talking about a 6 cylinder model?

There would be captive welded nuts on the forward side of that cross brace 
panel to take the 10-32 screws that mount that plate. Once the body panels 
are all in place it's very difficult to access these nuts, so I'd suggest 
you reweld some in place before the body panels go on.
The plate is on absolute centre line as far as left to right goes. The 
screws are centred 1 1/8" down from the screws that fasten the shroud lip 
onto the cross cowl panel.

Hope this helps.

Rich Chrysler
