The fit of the bonnet too the wings on our 1971 Traveller appears to be better on the nearside than the driver side, basically a significantly larger gap as well as the line of the edge to the wing at the rear is also larger.
I understand bonnets did differ as the Minor progressed during production, but with regards too the later 1098 models were they all the same irrspective of if was fitted to a traveller/car or commercial?
Is this difference in gap normal as the chassis apopears to be untouched so original?

Re: Bonnet details
Yes the gap is normal, and anyone who has spent ages trying to re align a bonnet will know that you cant improve on it that much! I would leave well enough alone
Too many Minors so little time.....

Re: Bonnet details
You can try loosening the hinge fixings and moving it around a little - but take care you don't snap the hinges! Also worth checking if the front lock is perhaps pulling it out of line as it latches down .....
