On my 1930 Ulster Rep(not built by me) I have found that the bonnet and side panels don't properly line up. By shimming the cowl up 3/16", I can get everything to line up well. I intend to place shims between the cow horns and the forged bit at the front of the chassis. My questions are: 1. Is/are there any potential issues with doing this? The engine is not presently fitted. 2. Is this something that others have found necessary? 3. What size are the bolts that should be used? I know BSF, I think 3/8. Hardened? And where can I source ones that are 3/16" longer and not threaded for the top inch to the head? If it makes a difference, my cow horns are cast aluminum and Have been told they are reproductions.
