[TR] TR3 fender to bonnet clearance

[FGFO1 at aol.com]

well I fixed my front apron. cut the tie bar bracket from the inner wing  and 
repositioned it. looking good. all dimensions within 1/8" now.
now I'm looking at the gap between the bonnet and the front fender, all  
along the sides. someplace's its tight 1/8". other places   its horrible  3/4". I 
can make it right. but what's right? or what's nominal?
I don't have the fender bead to play with to figure out how much space it  
takes up or if it looks good at say 1/4".
however wide it is, its equally covering both the fender and the apron.  when 
we get to the bonnet the bigger part of 1/2 of it takes up some of the  space 
between the bonnet and fender. how much space? what's the fender bead  
dimension?
love to hear your dimensions.
also what tricks have you guys pulled to stop the back of the bonnet  rubbing 
against the cowl when opening? i don't have room to elongate the holes  and 
move the bonnet forward. too close to the apron already. shim the  hinge to 
cowl? or ?
thanks
Frank
