I had a pair of hinges that must have been bent UP somewhere along the 
way. I had the same problem with the 58 and it wasn't til I grabbed a 
different set of hinges that I saw it.
Or is it Bugeye hinges are different from MKII hinges? They look the 
same but, did someone manage to bend a pair perfectly even? And bent 
upwards at that.
I can see how they can be bent up if someone tried to push down on the 
bonnet with the bonnet stays locked up. Other than that, I don't know.
Also that rubber strip will make for an ill fitting bonnet.
