I checked the Bentley and it isnt mentioned. Anyone know or seen a print on specs. I found 356 at 3-4mm. Going to have to shape the hood to cowl, its off in spots.

It looks too tight? Throw some rattle can primer on it and see where it gets rubbed off when you open/close the hood.

It doesnt hit. The gaps are different all over, small, big, small in the same area. Im going to have to file it to cowl shape. Why I was wondering gap size.

How about a image of the issue? Does the cowl show signs of abuse?

Cowl is fine, just wondering what the gap is supposed to be
