So it seems my panel beater feels before he finished the final piece of bodywork namely my 4-tab bonnet, that I should try and find one in better shape than the one I have currently.
I've contacted a few of the usual suspects but it has turned up nothing. Hopefully the power of the people will be able to find one, or know of someone who has one lying around.
For those who aren't aware, the early oval 4-tab's are different in the hinge area and have a small metal triangle brace under the badge/4-tab area.

Any help appreciated as that is now the last thing I need to finish the car. Happy to include the one I have which isn't terrible, just requires more work for someone who would still like one in return for a rat etc.
There are a few around the world; but I can't imagine how much it would cost to get it here not to mention the awkwardness of packaging it. Might have to be the final option.
Dino,
If you find one and want to sell your can I be first inline. It's the only piece I don't have. I have later ones or really rusty 54 bonnets but nothing worth fixing.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
