Hi Guys.....what is the easiest....hinges attached to hood first or attached to the body first.
You've probably already fitted your bonnet, but just in case:
We did this recently. We were very careful. Everything was marked and I had two friends. What we learned, or definitely think we did, is that you should leave the hinges on the hood, have your helpers slowly lower the hood and
do not try to fasten both bolts to the frame at the same time. Rather, let hinges dangle vertically and put the bolts first in the rear-most holes. Then, with the bonnet lined up properly and where it should be, continue to lower the bonnet, forcing the hinges to lower and rotate, and to align with the two forward holes--then put the bolts in there. Once relatively tight, check the alignment and closing clearances, set them correctly, then final tighten.
It sounds to me like Vila, above, followed the same procedure.
