Hi Reg, and welcome to the club.

I don't like metal to metal, but I not being able to  see the size of the base of the leaper, I would suggest you cut out a gasket/washer from some suitable material before drilling.

I have a stick on leaper on the bonnet of my s type and it appears to be very solid.

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Peter thanks for quick response it is a 5inch leaper with a pin also maybe I can cut some double sided adhesive tape under it ?

Hi Reg,

I think that would be quite thin. Maybe three or four pieces of duct tape stuck together.
