I have to get some paint on my hood. The previous owner (before my dad) had the whole hood skimmed with bondo. It has been chipping off and exposing bare metal. I have to remove it so what is the easiest or best way of re-mounting the hood onto it's hinges in the correct location? It lines up great now!

ditto that , not hard to re-align, I pull them all the time and never mark them.
if you want a felt tip pen works. for real tricky hoods (not the 914 front) folks some times drill small holes to place dowl pins in to relocate teh hood exactly. but that leaves holes that could loose you a concours prize. really no worries you will be able to line it up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) PS use two folks to install and remove hood. Also place some soft towels at each corner of the cowl to act as bumpers in case there is a probelm when setting the lid on the hinges, that protects the cowl and hood edges from getting nicked it is easy to hit teh cowl with the lid corners, so use padding. |
