Re: Don Lattimer, Bonnet hinge.

Paul,

That is Jack's fully adjustable setup that he designed and built.  
He sent me the prints for it a while ago.  I can email them to you 
if you'd like.

The "spigot" (concentric?)is attached to the 4 inch mounts you 
mention.  You really have to see the pics to grasp it.  

Makes it adjustable up/down, front/back, and all points in-between.

It is also in a back issue of the CMI or MOC mags.  I'll check 
tonight when I get home.
