Robn Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi Working on a rebuild of a tr6 and it is a bit of a tail of woe that I won't both you all with. Anyway advice request. Having trouble with bonnet alignment its away right now but due back shortly. Seems my hope for the bonnet fit is a bit Basically to my eye it appears the front end is out of square and therefore the bonnet has not a hope of fitting with nice gaps all round. I think the dimensions are good just out of square. I wondered how movable the front outer wings are in relation to the inner wings? As I mull this it seems rigidity seems to come from the actual bolting of the wings inner to outer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinky Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Have you tried, Taking bonnet catch of Taking lights out and grill Laying webing over the engine bay to retrieve/ lift bonnet up Lay bonnet into engine bay and centralise using wedges, bolt the bonet up If the hinges are worn it will lift up and move two inches to the left or right put masking tape on engine bay catch and enginers blue on on bonnet catch and move to they connect Make sure the cable is tied of so it cannot operate I have to move the bonnet on the hinge pins 2 inches to the right to pick up the catch, However the gaps are really good I have got new/second hand hinges with good pins I have got to refurb, hopefully the pushing will stop Before I used this method the job would take me days, and I never got the gaps right The above method takes a couple of hours and really works Hope this helps Pink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
