You have the height of the chassis from the bottom edge of the lower rails to the top of the upper rails = 355mm,

the top of the bonnet is 230mm above the upper rails at the scuttle end & if my memory doesn,t fail me 171mm above the upper rails at the nose cone

so you have 585mm from base rail to top of bonnet at scuttle end
&
526mm from the base rail to top of bonnet at the nose cone end .

depends which bonnet you fit, as the new Saturn bonnet gives greater clearance in its larger bonnet bulge.

hope that helps.

cheers
andy

Thanks for the measurements Andy

Have 300mm to spare in lengh and about a 1m in width and still have a decent work area, just need to clear out 14 years worth of junk from my old business.
