#1 Hood frame stop studs - adjustment?

Post by chrisvine » Tue May 17, 2016 8:54 am

One of my hood stop studs didn't take too kindly to being removed and so I had some replacements made in SS. One thing that puzzles me is that the studs are clearly designed to be adjustable - the threaded section is not concentric to the main stud:

The studs simply limit the travel of the pivoting of the front canopy, as it is raised from the closed position. As far as I can tell, once the canopy link impacts the stop studs, further raising of the canopy starts the folding of the links mechanisms.

Is there any guidance out there on how this should be adjusted to set the correct rotational position? Is it to do with the opening of the hood or how it finally rests when open?

Thanks,
