Does anyone have (or could take) a rough measurement for where the bonnet prop bracket should be, in relation to the edge nearest the washer bottle, of the hole for the air feed elbow?

 

As my replacement inner wing has the bracket much feather forward (as per the early mk1 and 2’s) and don’t have an original later panel to measure from.

As there have been no answers so far i'll add my ten pence worth... does it really matter to be honest ?? Surely just a rough guess would be close enough ??

I'll probably just guess at it to be honest. It's just that the front half of the drivers inner wing was replaced 3 years ago, and the attached bracket it too far forwards on the panel.

And as its one of those things that bugs me, and I've had to relocate the chassis palate, while I have the chance I'll move it to nearer to where it should be.

The best I could get was approx 30 mm to the edge of the plastic elbow, so probably around 20 mm to the edge of the hole.
