I seem to recall seeing one in the Haines manuals, at least the versions sold here on the USA'n side of the pond. I recall a discussion from here a few years back, when a fellow from the UK was mentioning that he had rust on his 900's hood (bonnet) on the driver's side; I mentioned I had rust on the driver's side of mine as well, so between us, we had a good hood. OK, so it was funnier at the time. Dave
