[Healeys] Hood release

[vintage_roadster_restoration at hotmail.com (Jean Caron)]

Fred,

You will have to get under the front of the car with a light and a long flat 
screwdriver and take a good look where the pin is located, then release it with 
the screwdriver by moving it slightly one way or the other. Then you will have 
to readjust the pin and or the bonnet lock support. Time consuming unless you 
hit it right the first time, pay attention which way you move things and then 
you can figure out quicker which way you have to move it if still not 
satisfactory after a couple attempts.

My hood/bonnet release is not releasing the hood/bonnet.  I pull the release 
handle on my BJ8 but nothing.  The release handle moves smoothly and returns to 
the normal position when released.

Any suggestions/ideas of how to get the hood open?

Thanks,

Fred
