Hood stowage catches

[vanman2004]

Hi all, I have just renewed my hood catches but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of adjustment so they don't 'catch' the hood. Does this mean my hood frame is all out of true or am I missing something. Any suggestions would be appreciated, cable ties don't work for long.

I found that the spacing of the holes is wrong on the new catches, so in that case no adjustment is possible. I had to rework the catches to make them useable.

If that doesn't work your frame is probably bent.

Thanks Chris, I'll have a look at the fixing holes and see if I can make some adjustment.
