The hoods should all be the same. Could the hood have been "sat on"? So the sides have spread? Mine has a beveled lower edge, mating to beveled inner edges of the fenders. If the fenders are mounted a little too close together, I can see the hood not dropping in properly. How much too wide is the hood?


Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice)

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
