A few days ago I removed the hood springs in an attempt to get better fitment. While that worked well I have two resultant problems. One is that the hood latch does not work as it did and it's difficult to open. I don't see how to adjust the latch or if it even is adjustable. The bolts or screws holding it down have a strange kind of head on them...never seen such before or a tool for it.?

Second problem is that when I now use the hold up bar on the hood the other side sags a LOT and I fear it may become sprung. Maybe I should replace the hinges or the spring on that side. If I do the latter I can shorten the effective length by lengthening the lower attachment notch a bit so that the hood fitment to the cowl will remain as good as it is w/o the spring.

What say you experienced Bolters ?
