Help!
I’ve recently purchased a ‘75 incomplete project.
It came with some rust repair to the front.
I’ve just come to put a Getty hood on, and even with a 4mm scuttle to hood gap, the hood doesn’t seem wide enough.
Looks like I’m going to have to tap both rails in... seems pretty desperate to me!
Anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions as to how best persuade them inwards?
Should I clamp / bolt a straight bar to it and then tap them inwards?
The other side is slightly more than this.
I can’t bring the hood any further down to fix the gap as the gap at the top would be too great. The fenders are about as far in as they will go (and still need to be set once I get the hood just right). They also need the adhesive strip putting in there, so will only get worse.
In the picture, the hood seal is in place.
Thanks for any advice and experience.
