BENSPORT BONNET. as the radiator demands that the location bonnet be at the dash, we have modified the usual fitting to provide this location. On R.{Sir Henry Royce} scn.

The bonnet hinge tube has a ferrule pinned to it which notches over the fixing on the dash, and is held down by a 'U' shaped clip, similar to the scheme used for the front end location on RR. bonnets.
