We've been told a bit of history about how our 63
came to have a 426 fitted
(originally a 361), but I don't think we were told
anything about how the
hood came to have the bracing cut. I doubt it's off
an original MW car but
the way it's cut looks the same as the real ones
I've seen. Because it's a
late 62 car (ie before the lightweight/hoodscoop
option) it's just the flat
hood without any holes cut, but I think the way the
bracing is cut would be
the same as if it had the holes & scoop fitted.
Anyway, here are some pics I took a couple of months
ago of the 4 corners.
Some are clearer than others but are good enough to
get the idea

Hope they're of some use...
