Hi all, i have a quiery about the wooden bow on the hood front where it meets the windscreen (BJ7) I had to but a new wooden bow on as i didn't have the old one, the new one has a stepped in piece on the bottom, my question is, is this to butt the metal header rail retainer upto ?
Secondly the header rail retainer lip does not quite marry upto the indent on the wood bow, should it ? if so i will have to router a bit out or can the header rail overhang ? my guess is no as this would look wrong.
So i'm right, the header rail retainer sits directly on the windscreen top (with a seal under it), i take it this is wrapped in material, the wood bow must encapsulate the hood material and screw to the retainer rail and then the wood bow is screwed directly to the hood frame ?
I'm just working backwards as i havn't fixed the hood mounting brackets yet so i guessed that if i fitted up the front of the hood to the screen and got the wood round the windows to sit right this would then give me an indication where to mount the hood brackets.
I have a deadline on this to get to the trimmers so any help would be appreciated.
