Re: Aaaaaaargh! Help! Hood/Bonnet Hinge

["Alan Inglis" <ainglis@bcresearch.com>]

Becky:
Is the bonnet already off? The dashboard ends of the hinge are well hidden - but
the bonnet (hood) end is very accessible. 4 nuts and bolts on each hinge and two
pairs of hands and the bonnet should be off. Get them to mark it for reassembly.
Can't you leave the hinges in place?

My '67 Midget is in the body shop getting worked on and they can't
figure out how to take off the bonnet hinges. They say there's not
enough room to reach behind the dashboard(barely enough room to get a
wrench in there) Is there some kind of a trick to it? Please help. I
have the Porter book, but I can't find anything in there.
