Carried out a test today; Removed the clamshell, and instead bolted a length of 2"x 1" wood to the clamshell arms. I took two pictures, the first one is with the hood almost up, close to the latch at the top of the windscreen. The piece of wood is level and everything is fine. The second picture is taken as the hood is coming down, almost at its limit; you can see the slope on the piece of wood, and the RHS is up in the air. The LHS is fine. If I try and correct the error on the RHS, by undoing the RHS Bowden cable and turning the cable to try and correct the error, then the white ball joint on the RHS will pop off as the hood gets to its limit. Where do I go from here?
