[TR] TR3A hood rattle woes

[David Friedlander]

Jim;

I find that with the car idling , the car parked and the bonnet propped up,
rattle come from the Dzus fasteners, the bonnet hinges and most any bracket
where the bolts aren’t sufficiently tightened down. But with the bonnet
secured down and the Dzus fasteners locked, things are quite a bit quieter.
Tweaking the idle speed also affects the harmonics some.
