[Mgs] MGA hood

[dave northrup]

Went in and really oiled everything I could find.  Now the hood pops open with gusto!!  So if you haven't oiled that mechanism in the last decade or so now might be the time to do it.

special thanks for barney gaylord and his mgaguru website.  i installed the grill with the three "studs" instead of bolts on the top.  yesterday the hood release failed to hood release.  3 bolts out of the bottom of the grill (which were metric - obviously a moss motors grill), and the grill came out.  a little finagling and the hood popped open.  whew!!!!!

now - the question is what happened and how do i prevent the hood release from not working in the future.
