Re: Opinions on repop hood hinges

The PO installed a pair from LMC (I have the receipt) .They open and close fine but I am unable to get the one side to close completely. Close inspection revealed that the rivets are not in the same locations from side to side. There is a difference of about 3/16" which I believe is why no amount of adjustment allows the hood to close properly.
Just my two cents. It may be a one off problem for all I know. I am planning on replacing them with a rebuilt pair when funds allow.
