6 WINDSCREEN INTRUSION PREVENTION - USA AND CANADA
Changes to the body have been made to comply with
Windscreen Intrusion Regulation FSS 219.
When fitting a bonnet moulding which is secured by nuts
both front and rear, care should be taken to ensure that
premature collapsing does not occur. The bonnet and the
bonnet moulding are both designed to collapse in a pre-
determined manner in a frontal impact.
Two special bonnet retainers are secured to the engine
bulk head and two to the bonnet. A gap of 1,58 mm.
to 3.17 mm (0.062 in.to 0.125 in.) must be maintained
between the two (see Fig. 5).
When ordering all bonnet and bonnet moulding replacements
reference must be made to the car serial number.

Certain cars with the exception of those destined for
USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Norway and Sweden will
have a 20,32 cm. (8.0 in.) interior mirror with a radiused
surround fitted.
8 INSTRUMENTS
New 'air cored' instruments are fitted. They perform the
same functions as before and differ only in their internal
construction and outward appearance. The instrument
boards of all four door and Rolls-Royce Camargue cars have
been changed to accommodate the new instruments.
The oil level and fuel level units have been changed to
suit the new 'air cored• instruments as have the oil
pressure and coolant temperature transmitters on
Rolls-Royce and Bentley Corniche cars.
The new instruments and respective units are not inter-
changeable with the previous types.
