The rear engine compartment lid started popping open whenever I go over a bump. It appears that the L-shaped piece that screws into the lid is just barely catching the latch.
I was wondering if a slightly longer L-shaped piece could be made up ? Was tring to think of something that could be modified. I can also loosen the lids bolts and slide it back a little. Any thoughts here ? |

The latch rod is also adjustable front to rear. Loosen the nut, slide it to the rear and tighten the nut.

QUOTE(The Cabinetmaker @ Oct 31 2014, 06:13 AM)  The latch rod is also adjustable front to rear. Loosen the nut, slide it to the rear and tighten the nut. The lid can also be adjusted forward and back and a bit side to side. When closed it should be against both stops at its' rear corners. They are adjustable as well. Rotate them by hand like as screw to raise or lower the corners. The engine lid should be even with the rear lid and have equal spacing from side to side. |
