Looks like the answers are all over the place. I think the real answer is that the seam where the front of the fender and the shroud meet may be the only straight line on the car. If you are sure the top of the shroud above the headlamp is true then just try
dropping a line straight down from there and I think the dimension should be close.</div>

<div>I now have a '55 BN1 and measured the front for you as per your requirements. A is 43 1/4 " across and the measurement for B is 42 1/4" across. Hope this helps.</div>

<div>We’ve finally found a good metal-worker to re-shape the damaged nose of my BN1. The challenge is to know what the proper shape is! I have both an original splash apron and a steel repro—identical in shape—which clearly show that the lower right side
of the nose was pushed in quite a bit and so the bottom of the front shroud is narrower across than original. (Now I understand why the car had no splash apron at all when I bought it 23 years ago....)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of course a template would be ideal, but measurements would be adequate. Can one or more of you give me the measurements across the front of the nose, as marked in the picture?</div>

<div>I bought a lower nose repair panel from AH Spares (area from about point “A” down) but it doesn’t fit the contour of the original splash apron, and the metal-worker prefers to straighten the original rather than re-shape the replacement panel. (Anybody
want to buy said panel?)</div>

<div>As always, thanks in advance for your help!</div>
