Hi Stephen
Unfortunately you have to start with the packaging of the bottom of the hood
frame, shims at the front or back of the fixing affect the position of the hood
when it closes, I then alerted the angle of the windscreen with the quarter
lights and windows loosely fixed. As the 4 holes in the windscreen support are
oversize you have some adjustment in the angle, the same with the window
channels, packing out with washers on both these (whichever side of the the
support, outside or inside of the car) can pull them in or out. If memory
serves correct I also adjusted the channels ( bent them gently over my knee) to
help with the windows having better movement and not binding. I also put
washers between the hood and wooden hockey sticks to push them out, in the
fixing screws, (something like one washer at bottom and 2 a time top) this
would help you! But you have to make sure your hood will still close into the
channel![Image][Image][Image][Image]
I found that it took 9 years to restore the car, I then got it mot?d ( safe for
road , ministry of transport test) and then spent the year adjusting.
Unfortunately you find you have to more or less take everything off start with
the hood pivot and try different shims and then work through the above, hence
it took so long.
I got the front top point and rear edge of the glass as good as possible then
enlarged the wood to suite, as per photos.
Hope this helps
Regards Andy

Hi Andy,
I read your email with interest...I too spent quite a bit of time with the
wooden parts of the top frame, in order to get everything to line up.
However, I'd like to know just what you mean when you say "then adjusting the
quarter lights and windows to suit."
I know that there are certain movements you can make with the quarter lights
and windows, but I can't find a way to bring them in closer to the top, at the
rear .
I woud appreciate any advice you might have.
Stephen
