No problem anytime Capt.
I remeber the Austin Healey (I'm a Vintage Kinda Guy...)
LOL... 12 pointers aren't very forgiving sometimes!

Those are rubber bumpers for the hood to rest against. I will most likely be removing them in the spring. I have another hood that I am molding a cowl induction center into and have purchased the hood prop for it.

This OEM hood has modified cross bracing to clear the 1.6 8V but I want a smidgeon more clearance than it provides. It will be on the For Sale Block along with a passenger side door & tailgate....

Those are part of a fold down windshield kit, so when you drop your windshield it doesn't sit on the hood. 

Dang Drone ya caught that.... (thanks) 

I read that after I wrote it and thought.... "that ain't exactly rite...."

But either direction it does the same thing... (seperates the 2 from damage.) so I left it... 

I think the header wrap will work great, only time will tell.  I'm not in a wet climate, in fact we have been in drought conditions for almost the past year so I'm not overly concerned with them soaking in moisture, plus everything is coated with a Silicone high heat protectant so hopefully it will help block any moisture soak.

I have all the original light gaurds, even the little side turn signial gaurds but the rear ones are pretty rusted and the fronts are kinda bent up.  I hope they still stock them when i'm ready to start adding the foo foo stuff...

I run mounts on the hood from a Jeep YJ.  Gives it a cleaner look in my honest opinion.

Let me know if you notice a difference with the header wrap.  I have always wondered if that stuff is worth it.
