the hood should line up Posted by vvack0matic [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Hood Alignment, Sean, Sun, 27 Jan 2008 12:41:57 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
might be the middle pivot bar for the hood is bent from the damage the last hood had, check it out looking for dents, bends, or cracks in the hole assembly.
there is no difference in hoods from spg, to turbo`s
if there is a problem its from the installation of the hood or parts.
make sure the back end of the hood have the guide slides on both sides and they are not bent.
you might know this but i`ll say it anyway, the spring around the front hood pin can get hung up keeping the hood from closing, the spring can just be pulled off the hood with a bit of force, bent straight by hand & then popped back on the center hood pin (by hand)
with the spring aligned straight around the front (hood lock down) pin the hood will close and open with ease.
this might not be the problem but i thought i`d mention it.
if inspected the hood and middle pivot bar assembly & found no flaws try loosing the two hood arm (or feet)bolts (hood to middle pivot bar) and pull the feet out a bit then tighten the two bolts, (making sure the feet for the hood are not fully set but are backed out some) this will give the hood a small amount of lift, not much but its a shot.
then check the alignment of the hood pin, making sure it hasn't been bent.
(the pre 85 model might not fit but if this was the problem the front pin and the guide slides wouldn't line up)
