In Reply to: major bonnet fitting posted by richard bartlett on January 23, 2011 at 14:25:34:
Had a new bonnet from RP the well known Fordson new parts dealer in Dorset {England} -
1 - the box section around the centre hinge was too large and I had to cut a chunk out of the battery firewall
2 - the brackets that the bonnet stays pivot from were riveted at the front of the bonnet NOT the rear
3 - the flat sides were too deep and looked wrong when bonnet was shut.
4 - the whole bonnet didnt sit flat [horizontal] at the rear where it mounts on the fuel tank
I phoned RP and complained in polite words - he didnt want to know - tough, I had bought it and it was my problem not his - no refund nor discount available. Spoke to several other people in England who had the same bonnet problems; and many people here complain that replacement tinwork from several replacement parts dealers for Fordsons, MFs & IHs just dont fit
