[Mgs] hood insulation

[Dodd, Kelvin]

David:

The original bonnets and hinges were drilled by Pressed Steel to allow
the bonnets to be removed and re-installed on the MG production line.

You should be able to use the original holes in the hinges and drill the
bonnet if it has been replaced or re-aligned.
