[Mg-t] Bonnet handle orientation

[scvc70 at epix.net]

Handles indeed should be "handed"  --  two lefts, and two rights, so the 
"MG" is right-side-up on both sides when the handles are locked--which is 
pointing backwards.  Both sides rotate up and toward the front (so clockwise 
on the right, c-cl. on the left) to release the latches.

Hi Friends,

Quick question or two, please, regarding bonnet release handles;

With the octagon and 'MG' reading correctly, the bonnet latch handles, from 
side to side, cannot extend in the same direction, when latched - or perhaps 
the handles should be 'handed' - but mine are all the same. So the question 
at hand is:

Assuming that the handles are horizontal when latched, should the 'MG' read 
upside down on on the right side, with the handle extending rearward, or 
should it read correctly but extending forward? And am I correct in assuming 
that both sides release with a counter-clockwise turn? Sadly I removed the 
original handles ages ago, and of course, didn't adequately document the 
configuration.

Thanks.
