Could someone please help - BONNET HINGES & SUPPORT

'56 Oval bonnet hinges .....

I'm trying to put my bonnet hinges and so on back together, and can't for the life of me work out how the hinges and support bracket work together.

None of the workshop manuals I have give a pic showing their positions/orientation.

The support barcket is seperate to the hinges... Fit the hinges first use the stepped bolts for the under the dash bolt point so they swivel

The bonnet support has a seperate bracket from memory I dont have my Oval here to look at ... but i think one end bolts to the hinge area.

If i get the camera going i can take some pics.

I'll post some pics of what I have, maybe that will make things a little clearer.
