Re: Hoods & Hood hinges

I have the 58-59 hinges but they won't work as the firewall is a 55- 57 so the bolt spacing is wrong , that's why someone previously slotted to current ones which I slotted further trying to get them to fit bitter.

I am also not going factory hinges either, going with some billet ones.

I thought front parts were interchangeable , but I guess that's as a whole, guards and.hood and grill etc etc

I found a 55-57 hood which is being delivered today. My hope is that I can unpick the mount section at the rear of the hood and put that in my current 58-59 hood if that makes sense.

I can 100% confirm the wiper mounting and setup is different between the two as I had to return the Newport 58-59 and get the earlier 55-57.
