Nick Jones Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Make sure that the hood frame fits around the windows and that the webbing is holding the rear ribs in the right place before you think about fitting the hood itself.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma fud Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Surely a second hand hood would have already been stretched so fitting will be different, some would say easier because all you have to do it match up the hole and hope it fits your body because you don't have any spare material second hand headers in good condition are like hens teeth l got a second hand one that need repairing, you can buy new ones think their around 200 quid last time l looked.
