I think the original intent was for the bonnet to rest on the (4-6?) rubber 
buffers that are installed on the rain channel of the shroud when the bonnet is 
closed. Often, the bonnet does not even touch the rubber buffers & therefore 
the bonnet is free to shake, especially the buffers nearest the hinges. I do 
not believe that there is a way to eliminate the shaking by tightening the 
hinges at the firewall. Try placing a glob of clay on the underside of the 
bonnet directly in line with the rubber buffers, close the bonnet, reopen the 
bonnet & see if there is an indication of the clay being in contact with the 
buffers. You might need to place a small piece of rubber (or other material) on 
the underside of the bonnet so that it comes in contact with the buffers.

Dear List:
 
My BJ8 engine was removed and machined last spring.  It has been reassembled 
and painted since then and waiting installation.  Now I come to the other tasks 
on my wish list before installation.  
 
The hood has always shaken rather than remain stable.  How do I remove the 
hinges and replace the anti-rattle washers.  Looking under the dash, it seems 
they are incased in a metal shroud or covering with no way to get at the hinge 
bolt assembly.
 
Regards,
 
Bob Begani
