The under/inside the hood stencil not used during WWll

In google books it will let you see where that came from.
Me thinks lots of people got hurt. Maybe other posters can say when the hood to cowl latch was incorporated.
I hope nobody got hurt bad, but like lifeboats and the HMS Titanic, those details typically get added only AFTER something goes wrong.

yup, like my 109a3 has the top of the radiator smashed down and repaired and a healthy dent in the hood by the safety catch, would like a hood lift kit from BBQROD but he appears to not be around here any more or at least never replied to my PM

assembled the other 3 395/85s for a full set of 6 and cleared a spot in the driveway it can stay till i am done servicing the hubs/brakes/bearings and all wheel seals, verified which front spring seats/caster shims i have are 331-s2's and can be flipped around and shouldn't need to be machined as per what i've read about, got the axle on jack stands but don't have tall enough stands to hit the frame rails, gonna score a couple 12 ton stands from the chinese embassy tomorrow and if it doesn't rain maybe start in on the front axle servicing
