    When welding g alloy it gets a bit bright, we use marker pen either side, on ships I've seen people use French chalk, either side. You could try a lighter shade, I use 9 on steel, 10 or 11 on stainless and alloy. How close you put your nose helps, but it is called a dark art for a reason. Practice,practice,practice. You'll get the feel for it. :-)

    Lennard, I made my bonnet fit correctly all the way along the top chassis rails and around the scuttle. The complete procedure can be seen on page 8 of my rebuild post here :-  http://www.godspeed.me/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1055&star...

    I also did away with the standard Phaeton front hinge and made my own version (will take a picture when I get a chance) when the bonnet is shut there is very little movement now.  Hope this helps.

    To Steve Kerswell & Paul Sheridan,

    Many thanks for the advice and support and hopefully the S2 will be fully finished and back on the road early 2020. Been a long time in the rebuild interrupted at times by a host of issues but nearly there . I've posted some photos but most importantly once again many thanks.
