1. The PB110 is 40mm longer in the wheelbase than the B110 & it is all in front of the firewall.
2. Additionally, the front sheet metal is longer in front of the RSP [Radiator support pannel] so
3. I think that it will fit your hinges, &
4. it will fit between the front mudguards/fenders,
5.it will also sit forward of your existing sheet metal.
6. I also suspect that the latch mechanism will not pick up the catch on the RSP as the bonnet/hood parts will be too far forward.
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Well I screwed up on points 3. & 4. so I got a hit rate of 66% on my predictions.
I suspect that the PB110 hinges might just fit the B110 mounting points in the body, but I'm promising nothing.
I forgot to mention that the cowl top panel [in front of the windscreen] is a different part number than the B110 so it would be a different shape to match the bonnet [or vice versa]
Yes, I have both a B110 & a PB110 parts book.
If a 'front cut' is contemplated then take a cut through the windscreen pillars & across the floor as there are a lot more differences in this forward part of the body than you might think.
Behind this line the body shells are pretty much the same.
Oh yeah, all of the front suspension & steering is unique to this model. It is essentially based on 'P' body components, particularly the steering so the original B110 parts won't fit & work.
The US model B210 apears to be based on the PB210 shell & it uses the heavier suspension & brakes, so I suspect that the steering is PB210 as well.
['P' body as on P510, P610 etc.]
