A Hood by any Other Name.......
I've never heard of the hood sides being called side curtains.

Oh, by the way, a "hood" is the roof of an open car. Different terminology sure makes talking with others interesting at times - might make for a good thread.

I knew about "bonnet" and "boot" for the hood and trunk lid, but this is the first time I've head of hood sides called side curtains.

Re: A Hood by any Other Name.......
What about them "wings" or fenders. Kind of like the nomenclature personally.

Those things are Mudguards here. Like most of these things, it's not hard to see how the names came to be.

Re: A Hood by any Other Name.......
Before another myth starts, Synchro909 has said it correctly----Down Under we call them Bonnet Sides.
Side Curtains are the snap on open top coverings with plastic windows. |

Re: A Hood by any Other Name.......
And they're Wind Screens. not windshields here. Wheel nuts, not lug nuts. The Crown wheel is in the differential and the ring gear goes on the flywheel. The list goes on and ......

X2 The man is selling a complete bonnet (hood in US)with bonnet sides. We fit side curtains to the top of doors of open cars to provide protection from the weather.

Bonnet for us in regards to Tom's link, side curtains are related to weather proofing roof (hood ) sides here in the UK

Re: A Hood by any Other Name.......
Australia, New Zealand, UK and the USA. Four countries divided by a common language, English. It's not only auto terms, but many in general that are different between us.

Re: A Hood by any Other Name.......
Pooch, I think there are 2 cotter pins on an A. They go through the front axle and hold the king pin.
For the rest of you, what we are saying is that what you US people call a cotter pin is known here as a split pin. Oh, yes and we have no such thing as a Zerk. I had to google that to find out what they were talking about. We call them Grease Nipples.

Yes, a cotter pin is an entirely different animal.
