shuey Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 hi got new hood frame has any one got some advice as i`ve tried looking through manuals and can`t find any and the link here will not load for some reason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BryanD Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 What's the problem exactly? I've found hood frame fitting very straightforward. Its just the three screws (worth buying some nice new shiney ones) each side and the five bolts through the back rail. Has it come with the tapes fitted? If not, this is a bit trickier as you need to get the hoops in the right place before you rivet them into place. I'd suggest measuring someone else's if you don't have an old one. When you have it set up, put a strip of velcro (the soft looped side) along the top of the hoops to stop wear and cover the rivet heads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Crawley Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Shuey Don't fit the tapes until you fit the hood otherwise there is a big risk the hoops won't be in exactly the right place. Read the link wheeeler has possted (beat me to it!) & then come back; if you want a copy of the articles on the thread, PM me & I will E them to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
