Bonnet/Hood adjustment

Bonnet hinge bars should have slightly slotted holes in them to allow for adjustment. If they don't, perhaps you could remove them and slot the holes as needed?

How is the height (flushness)? That will also allow it to rub there if the hood sits a little low compared to the shroud.
