I replaced the original aluminum sealing block with a stronger steel one when my oil pan was out. Wasn't a well known vendor I recall? ?The two wooden wedges that came with the steel block were a sloppy fit so I reused the hard plastic ones that were on the car and fitted snugly.? New sealing block seemed a quality part.

1972 Triumph TR6

I have a backup hood release but that?s not the issue

If you only pull either the regular or backup release, nothing really happens and you cannot open the hood after that.  BUT if you also attempt to pry (or is that prise?) the hood open at the same time, it comes open.

In other words, the hood opens fine, from either the regular hood release, or the backup release, IF and only IF, you pry a finger under the hood and give it a little help.

Now I won?t argue ? this is a pretty great theft deterrent as I usually disconnect the battery while its parked.  But it?s a royal PITA and I?d really like to fix it.

Thoughts???

Sounds like the release spring needs adjusting. Which is a pain as well, my hood pops up if I hit a bump. Still trying to find the sweet spot.

It sounds like something is catching, such that the force of the spring is not quite enough to pop the hood up. Same t\hing happened to me once and I very gingerly adjusted the mechanism a fraction one way and then another until I hit the spot where it would ?pop?.  Even now it sometimes requires the help of a finger.

I guess you could put a small amount of paint from a paint stick or similar around the opening and see where it is scraped off.  Good luck!

 Agree 100%.? It sounds like the pin is not going down the center of the latch and there is a significant sideways force applied causing enough drag to resist the spring pressure to open up.? If you get it properly centered it will pop up every time. But it takes a bit of fiddling to get it right.? A little grease helps, too.

Good luck.
 
Dave

Its always scary to mess with the hood latch given the potential consequences.

Thanks to those who chimed in.  I noticed that the pin was not landing squarely in the hole so I used a screwdriver to turn it 45 degrees and now the hood pops open just like it should.

The forward opening design should prevent any pant-wetting situations unlike the more common rear-hingers. When those pop open at 40 mph, it definitely is an experience!

 If you can turn the pin with a screwdriver it is likely to move again.? There is a jam nut inside the spring.? Work a 1/2 inch open-end wrench between the spring coils and snug it up to make sure it stays where you want it.
Good job.

 That happened on my TR3.? And due to poor alignment (self-administered dope-slap here) the secondary catch didn't hold either.? That was a $1,000 mistake.

Yes, what Dave said.
And as a tip I learned... it is very difficult to squeeze a spanner wrench in between the spring coils... I happened to have a very thin multi wrench that is used for paint guns. Other air tools also use these thin wrenches (maybe harbor freight sells separately).
Just have to find one with the right size.

If you can turn the pin with a screwdriver it is likely to move again.  There is a jam nut inside the spring.  Work a 1/2 inch open-end wrench between the spring coils and snug it up to make sure it stays where you want it.

Good job.

Having a devil of a time getting leak free connection at pump outlet with the old nut and new olive and tube.? Spitting out fuel between the nut and the copper nickel tube piece.? Noticed that the nut on the inlet still shows a few threads when fully tightened and that connection doesnt leak.? ?I can try bringing in a new nut with the correct part no.? I have new olives.? I found a 1/2 20? unf male with 1/4'hose barb fitting at McMaster Carr.? Rare stuff unavailable locally.? ?If that fitting would work I would run 1/4 rubber fuel hose from the pump over to the carb setup and eliminate the nut, olive and metal tube.? ?

Bruce,
?
I just use two delrin ferrules (white ones) from the hardware store.? I had to use two ferrules together in order to get the connection to stop leaking years ago.? It works!? The old ferrule was a bit longer than the current ones available.
