All,
OK... this is good.
Tonight I set about working on the hood frame.
I got it bolted into the tub in the rear, added the "male" latch parts to the
header rail, then went to add the "female" latch halves to the windshield frame.
I poked the holes for the small bolts through the new plastic covering, started
to turn the bolts to tighten, but got no grip.
"Odd", I thought.. So, I got to poking around and discovered that there is
nothing there for them to tighten into!
I suspect there was, at one point, a metal plate with threaded holes within the
frame, and it has since slid somewhere inside the frame itself.
Can anyone help?
Is it time for a powerful magnet? Maybe some sort of pressure-based fastener?
Cheers,
Guy D. Huggins
