I hear some have problems with the top of the Koni yellow shocks hitting the inside of the front hood, not allowing it to fully close. I also thought I have seen photos of at least one hood that had little humps or holes in the hood to allow the adjuster screw to clear for closing. Anyways, what is normally done when the clearance issue is encountered without having to modify the hood? I have 72-73 911 struts (for Koni) and a fiberglass hood. Thanks.
