gap/ alignment of bonnet to vent panel RS2000

just wondering if anyone has a couple of good quality pics of the top side of the bonnet on an RS2000?? as i am gapping mine at the moment for paint and my bonnet sits low of the vent panel under the windscreen. i recall this is normal on my last RS2000 but would like to confirm if some can take a few pics of theirs so i can compare.
thanks
Matt

    I'm not renowned for my high quality pics, maybe I'll learn to resize them one day But here goes......

    Mine sits fairly flush, have you got new bumpstops fitted? Mine needed trimming down a but as they made the bonnet sit way too high and was difficult to close.... Getting the gap front too back was a pain, ended up spacing out the nosecone mount with a couple of washers.....
    Good luck with it Drew.....

    thanks drew, yeah i have new rubbers all round and down the sides of the bonnet are perfect, front to back is pretty good also, just the rear of the bonnet, could i trouble you to take one more looking down the bonnet towards the windscreen??. also could you email them photos ( powertech@adam.com.au ) as they are resized when clicked on and zooming it gets pretty blurry.

    thanks for your reply, much appreciated
