Bob,

Rather than do all that fuss just do this. Get a piece of trunk seal for MGB.  Might even find one at a junk yard.  Cut 4 pieces about one foot long each.  Press them in each corner on the lip of the shroud.  Voila!  Done!  I have done this on my two cars and it stops the hood shake.

Dear List:

My BJ8 engine was removed and machined last spring. It has been reassembled and painted since then and waiting installation. Now I come to the other tasks on my wish list before installation. 

The hood has always shaken rather than remain stable. How do I remove the hinges and replace the anti-rattle washers. Looking under the dash, it seems they are incased in a metal shroud or covering with no way to get at the hinge bolt assembly.

Regards,

Bob Begani

I think the original intent was for the bonnet to rest on the (4-6?) rubber buffers that are installed on the rain channel of the shroud when the bonnet is closed. Often, the bonnet does not even touch the rubber buffers & therefore the bonnet is free to shake, especially the buffers nearest the hinges. I do not believe that there is a way to eliminate the shaking by tightening the hinges at the firewall. Try placing a glob of clay on the underside of the bonnet directly in line with the rubber buffers, close the bonnet, reopen the bonnet & see if there is an indication of the clay being in contact with the buffers. You might need to place a small piece of rubber (or other material) on the underside of the bonnet so that it comes in contact with the buffers.
