Hi all,
Ive had a Mog Conv for 25 years and at last Ive started to rebuild the body etc.
Im going to replace my hood with a new one, any tips??
Im going to respray the frame and install all new bolts etc, but really wanted to know if there any tips for stretching hood over the frame etc. All answers on a postcard.
Cheers
Keith

There is a great section in Lindsays Porter Restoration manual that gives a good detailed description with pictures. I have fitted 3 hoods and its really just a case of taking your time, making sure you happy with it and dont cut any excess cloth off till your really sure! Leave plenty of time its not a job to rush :D
