Hood front rail


Recommended Posts

Should the hood front rail be a tight fit to the sides, or should there be some play here, its originally fitted with a rivet RF2710.

Mine is a loose fit and squeaks a lot, wondering if I should but a bolt in there and get it tight? Will of course need to be a thin head and nut for clearance.

They were originally riveted tight together but they very often do come loose. You could peen them tight with a hammer and suitable sized dolly. Bolts are OK but need to be small or they will foul.
