Bonnet Prop

Post by Ernie »

Hi, In Parnells book on pages 17/18 he states that in August 1962 the prop rest was enlarged and relocated. Have looked at numerous photos and the prop rest appears to be in the same position. What was its position prior to August 62? Cheers

have a look on the 59 website

They have a pic there the prop bracket is vertical and lower

Not sure if it lasted as long as 62 though
