RV8 hood mini survey
Help Mike Lane compile information which will identify the chassis number or VIN change point for the new pattern of hood frame. By publishing that change point for fellow RV8 members they will be able to check which pattern of hood frame they are likely to have and then hopefully avoid the time wasting frustrations Mike has experienced. Why not get out your tape measure and do it now. Full details of what measurements you need to take are provided alongside.

What measurements do I take?
There are five measurements to take - three across the hood and a diagonal across each side window. Print off a form so you write down the measurements and details you need when you take your tape measure and a ballpen out to the car! The "Car No." is the VIN on your Vehicle Registration Document or plate on the car.
