IN-CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS
HOOD
Adjustments can be made at the
hood hinges and at the hood lock
hook (Figs. 1 and 2).
The hood mounting holes in the
hinges are slotted to provide fore
or aft adjustment; also, to provide
up or down movement at the front
of the hood panel.
To maintain a flush surface be-
tween the hood and the cowl, the lock
hook can be raised or lowered. Also,
adjustable rubber bumpers -are lo-
cated at each side of the cowl panel
to maintain a flush surface between
the hood and fenders.
