How to fit a bra??

[johnjr]

I own a 78 SC Targa. I got a Colgan bra for my birthday. When I tried to put it on, I got everything to fit perfectly - except the hood wouldn't close all the way. I tried adjusting the hood latch as far as I could, but still the hood wouldn't latch tight. Any suggestions? Thanks!

no idea, but i can get them off with one hand.

Had the same problem. Its a tight fit from the part over the hood. I have to push hood down to where the safety latch catches then push down hard where the front hood badge is. Sometimes it takes a couple pushes.

BTW, playtex is looking at putting velcro on bras instead of the metal peices b/c of the liability claims where people have been injured getting the bra off in the heat passion.

DrewT - Did you adjust your hood latch as far as it would go, too? I was concerned about forcing the hood when it appeared the fit was too tight along the channel between the hood and body. Thanks.

Johnjr,
I adjusted the latch but not as far as it would go. I am not slamming the hood down but really, after engaging the safety latch, pushing pretty hard.

Thanks, DrewT. I'll give it another try this weekend.

Charlie,

I don't fully understand the technique. Where are the pictures?

Just put a Colgan bra on my 87 cab. It is a tight fit. First I put the bra in the sun for 30 minutes to make it more pliable. I too had the problem with the latch, finally adjusted it all the way up, that did the trick. Able to close hood with a little pressure. Hope this helps.

[johnjr]

Thanks for the input rmurph. I let it sit in the sun for a while, too, but maybe not long enough. I'll give it a try...

Ryan,

Unfortunately there are no "in process" photographs, but the left-hand menus do lead to some photos of completed projects:



Certainly not as thorough as Wayne's book, but I'd say at least it's a "C+" effort!

Cheers!

but if you want to run without the bra you have a nice big gap to deal with.

Thanks Charlie! I think a C+ is a fair grade.
Sam, things sure can be taken out of context can't they? What about the gap?

I'm just interested in knowing how Carrera Charlie had this website at such quick reference. . .
