The Series V Alpine I cut up had nuts brazed to the back of the panel. =
You might be able to get a wrench on it through the access panel up at =
the top of the wheel arch or from behind the dash up under the cowl =
(there is a small opening there). In either case you'd need a funny =
shaped wrench and a lot of luck.

Hi Tigers
I am prepping my Tiger for painting.It has had the frame rust =
repaired,the
rocker panels replaced and the engine compartment sandblasted.It is my
intention to paint the engine compartment,install the drivetrain and =
then
finish painting the body.
But I have just one minor problem.The rubber topped capstan that =
supports the
back hood edge on the passenger side refuses to come loose.It just turns =
and
turns and turns.It appears to be "blind",there is no provision to get a =
wrench
or channel locks or anything else up inthere to secure the base to keep =
it
from turning.I am tempted to just take care of the problem with a cold =
chisel
and be done with it .I figured a question like this is made for this =
forum.If
I cut it off with a chisel,how do I secure the new one in its place =
since I
dont have access to the other side?I do not own a welder.
Thanks=20
Tony
