Hood frame geometry


Recommended Posts

Hi

So the hood frame is pretty much the last major item in my restoration, and it’s not in great shape- literally. 

Can I ask: the main links at the back (items 61&62 in the Moss diagram shown). Should they be pretty much straight up, vertically when viewed from the front and back? As my picture shows, mine are bent significantly (as are the links further forward). You will see how it’s throwing the mounting bracket out at an angle. I also can’t get the mounting bracket to rotate into its correct position for mounting and suspect it’s all down to bent links. 
Before I attempt to straighten them I thought I’d check if both links should go straight upwards when viewed from the rear. 

Thanks

Mark
