Hood lock
1 – hood pin lock nut, 2 – hood lock pin
The hood is hung on two hinges along the rear edge. The enlarged holes in the brackets for fastening the hinges on the hood allow the hood position to be adjusted in the body opening. When adjusting, the hinge mounting bolts are loosened, the hood is moved so that the gaps between it and the fenders are the same, and the bolts are tightened.
The front part of the hood rests on rubber buffers. By screwing the rubber buffers in or out, you can adjust the front part of the hood in height.
The hood in the closed position is fixed by the pin (2), which is screwed into the hood and locked with a lock nut. By changing the height of the pin, the hood is adjusted in relation to the front surfaces of the front fenders. If the hood is not securely locked with the lock, the lock nut securing the pin is loosened and moved due to the enlarged hole in the hood, achieving alignment with the lock socket. Upon completion of the adjustment, the lock nut is tightened.
