Rick Brown 'Bolter R Joined: Aug 2019 Posts: 172 Bc canada	Looks like I should have measured to the right to the floor not as I did to the support bracket which would add an additional 1/4 inch ?so if it is to the floor bracket am way to high so I do I lower? If it is to the bracket I find another reason why the hood has too big of a gap. Feels like a Humpty Dumpty truck Last edited by Rick Brown; 02/11/2026 2:26 PM. Reason: Update
