I'm having a hard time getting my hood to fit properly.
The hood mounting bracket on the driver slide is adjusted so that the bracket is mounted as low as it can go on the firewall. The bolts are at the top of the slotted mounting holes. (yellow marker in first image).
The bottom of the bracket hinge is almost touching the inner fender (blue marking in first picture).
There is no room left to adjust the bracket any lower. Even elongating the mounting holes on the bracket won't help unless I were to make room by hammering down the inner fender.
The hood still has a large gap to the top of the fender near the cowl on the driver side.
Has anyone had a similar issue they were able to resolve? I'm fairly confident they used the same hood hinge brackets for all FSJ so it isn't a mismatch there?
Also, looking for some screw nuts (?) for the front door pulls to mount to. Not sure that is the right name and haven't had much luck finding them online. I added a picture at the end of the thread in case someone happens to know the correct name so I can find some and get em on order.
appreciate any help or suggestions. cheers
passenger side is pretty normal
anyone know the proper name for this part?
