Figure 158: Hoodstick spacing

Drill two 7/64” holes into the upper chassis

tube, one either side, on the inside rear

edge of the boot, opposite the outermost

popper base (145 mm from the roll cage

mounting lug). Make a small hole in the

loose end of each hoodstrap and using

the two self-tapping screws (fastener pack

ZWE05 Item 10) and washers, fix the

straps to the rear panel on the inside of

the top chassis rail, refer to Figure 160.

NOTES

1. With the hoodstraps taut, check the

position of the rear hoodstick, as this will

affect the tension of the hood when finally

adjusted.

2. For a neater appearance, popper bases

may be used with the self-tapping screws

used to secure the hoodstraps.

13.2) Hood fitting

With the hoodsticks in the upright position

and the adjusting buckle fully slackened,

drape the hood over the car and attach it

to the windscreen with the pre-fitted

fasteners. Start with the two outer most

fasteners and ensure that the felt seal is

correctly located along the top face of the

windscreen frame.

Move to the rear of the car and attach the

back of the hood again with the pre-fitted

fasteners.

Tension the hood by adjusting the

hoodstraps until the front hoodstick is in

line with the stitched darts in the hood.

Use the Velcro lined sleeve stitched to the

inside of the hood to capture the front
