Joe,
Both rear edges of my hood are up and it's also not a problem with the
rubber cones being adjusted wrong. Years ago I asked a restoration shop
about it and he said the way they get them to lay correctly is by
"springing" the hood. Basically they'd put a block of wood under the hood
and "bend" the corners down to get the correct curve. I'll pass on that
technique and live with the raised corners. Unless someone has a simple
solution.
And Art Lipp's throttle shaft bushing & his steering column bushings are
both great. He told me he'll be bringing a bunch of them to Carlisle.

Bob;
I just finished my TR6 (she's ready for the Carlisle show next week) and did
it the exact same way as you. I was going to inquire about the trouble I'm
having with the left rear corner of the hood being higher than the fender,
but I see that you have the same problem too. I have the rubber cone
adjusted down as far as it will go but it's still not enough. BTW, while I
was putting the car back together, I installed Art Lipp's throttle shaft
bushings and I have to tell you that it went together as slick as a skid
mark! What a great design; thanks Art.
Joe
