How much play is acceptable and what are the symptoms of worn out hinges? You will soon tell, you can lift the front of the bonnet when shut and when open you will see the movement by getting hold of the side of the bonnet and rocking it. There shouldnt be any play in the pivot pins. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No as they should rotate properly with no play otherwise at the back end of the bonnet (Arc of movement) you will have a lot of movement. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
