[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 49323, member: 59"] When you come to bolt the SL1 to your SL3 you may well find, as I did, that the external hole location is closer to one edge. I centralised the holes in the ears of the head cowl and bolted through to link plates which are fixed to the SL3 with countersunk screws. This allows the headcowl to be swung up, pivoting on the steering damper, to set the headlamp face vertical. The links are virtually invisible so can be different allowing the external bolt location to be purely aesthetic. Rather than having domed or acorn nuts on the outside of the ears, I used chromed bumper bolts. (see [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-TC-TD-TF-MGB-GT-MGC-MIDGET-MORRIS-MINOR-CHROME-BUMPER-MOUNTING-BOLTS-PAIR-/370933015618?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item565d54a4420[/url] ) If I were doing it now I'd probably use, even less original, button headed hex socket screws.
