Either through the nose or from under the car, look at the alignment of the rod ends and the location of
the rod ends (left to right) in the brackets.
Screw the rod ends in/out as necessary to align the hole with the slots. The nose gaps may also have to
be adjusted.
Once the alignment has been made, use the included spacers and shims on either side of the rod ends.
Insert the bolts through the bracket, spacers and rod end
Tighten the bolts and jam nuts.
At the back of the nose engage the latches around the “U” bolts and tighten the bolts so that the hood
stays in position.
Remove the duct tape and jack stands looking for movement in the nose. Some readjustment may be
necessary.
With someone on the other side of the nose, unlatch the nose and slowly raise it. You may have to pull
out slightly on the latches so the bottom edge of the nose clears the “U” bolts. You can trim the nose if
you like so that this is not necessary.

The bumpers or stick on weatherstrip can be used to get the nose to the correct plane with the
body, you can shave small amounts off the bumpers to fine tune as needed.
Put the small bumpers around the edge of the nose opening and try closing the hood. If it is too low try
the large bumpers.
Use
⅛ ” long rivets to attach the bumpers through the body and into the frame.
