Bonnet Alignment

[ntel]

Just refitted the bonnet following a full respray. It doesn't seem to be sat centrally at the front. Is there a method of lateral adjustment to make the gap between the bonnet and the wings equal?

2 bolts trap the UJ on each side to adjust the bonnet alignment. The brackets have a little adjustment for up/down front/back that are clamped down by the 2 allen bolts either side. The UJs can be wound in/out for front/back adjustment. The 'hinge' is bonded in and may be at the limit of adjustement?

IIRC Left to right it achieved by rotating the whole hinge around the threaded bolt bonded into the bonnet (basically winding it up and doen the thread)

Nice one Dave. All sorted now. I just slackened all the nuts on the screwed rod and positioned the bonnet where it should be then tightened the nuts back up. I couldn't see the nuts at first due to all the copper grease around them.

Thanks to M@H also.
