HOOD
The
hood (Figs. 11-1—11-3), of rigid
sheet
metal
construction, is composed of a single
sheet
metal
outer panel and a rugged inner panel reinforcement.
Further
rigidity is obtained by the insertion of rein-
forcement braces and brackets strategically located
so as not to interfere with adjustment or service
repair
conditions.
A.
ADJUSTMENT
Slotted
holes
are provided at all hood hinge attach-
ing points for proper adjustment; both vertically and
fore and aft.
To
lower the rear corners for proper alignment to
the cowl and fenders, and to ensure contact with
the hood side
wedges,
proceed as follows:
1. Loosen front end of hinge mounting bracket to
fenders.
2. Hold hood
open
as high as possible and force
front of hinge upward.
3.
Tighten fender connection.
NOTE:
If this does not
correct
condition, lower
entire
hinge by loosening attachment bolts at
cowl
and
pushing downward.
The
portion of hood hinge that attaches to
cowl
has
elongated
holes at top and bottom to take
care
of
any body variations.
