Its FG and sticks up half inch at the cowl. Already removed the springs. Is there any adjustment in/at the hinge to body point? I sure hope so... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

QUOTE(Evill Ed @ Mar 21 2003, 05:03 AM) We have installed alot of AIR fiberglass and Carbon Fibre hoods at the shop. Almost all of the hoods would hit the top threads of the strut insert. It hits one of the support ribs. Look for scratches in the glass in this area. If it hits, cut some of the threads off of the top of the strut. Also try adjusting the 2 cowl supports that were mentioned previously. You can experiment with shims too, usually a shim under the front bolt on the hinge will bring the rear edge down a bit. The glass hoods only fit so well, you need to try all the adjustments you can to get the best fit. It will never be as good as a factory hood. Ed Struts are out, so not it. I think its cuz the hood has been sitting so long. Think Im going w/ 4 hood pins. Still undecided tho... |
