Actually that first bit (about loosening the reciever under the fender) and
the last bit (about having a pint) are both good ideas!
Thanks.

I seem to remember that the Dzus fastener anchor attaches to the inner
fenders with bolts through the inner fender and projecting into the
wheel well. If you loosen the bolts so that the anchor can be
repositioned with a little pressue, close the bonnet, twist the Dzus
fittings into the anchor plate with the bonnet closed it should position
itself perfectly. Tighten up the bolts inside the wheel well, open
bonnet and check torque on the anchor bolts. I know i've done the
bonnet height in a similar manner, measuring the projection into the
inner wheel well to estimate the amount of packing required. seems to me
that it positioned the anchor plate perfectly on the horizontal plane.
Then again I seem to remember visiting the moon one evening, but I've
never worked for NASA. Hmmmm. Oh well, I'll have another pint, that
always clears the old brain.
