Dan, I just went out and measured both my '74 Spit, and the '71 GT6 frame I have. Both are 27 1/4" center to center. I measured the vertical slots on the front of the brackets. I also have a '76 Spit tub with a '72 GT6 bonnet mounted sitting in storage. That bonnet slid into the mounts just fine, so I believe the mounts should be the same. Could your bonnet have bent hinge tubes or something similar?
Let me know if you need anything else measured.

The space between the center holes for my 1980 Spit and my 1977 Spit parts car indicates that the two pivot boxes center front holes should be 27 = inches apart, but the new GT-6 Bonnet has a spacing between the pivot points of 26 = inches. Is there a difference between an 1972 GT-6 and later square-tail Spitfire? I only want to weld these once.
