Re: 21st series hood bumpers

Howard, I always enjoy working on stuff and trying to figure out why something works like it does. So I looked at those (I'll called them Hood Pivots) Hood Pivots and notice that you are correct with putting the curve part up. I looked at a couple more different pictures of these Hood Pivots and found them with the curved part up. Which made me think why mine are curved down. Well I took one of my Hood Pivots off and the first thing I noticed was that the screw holes are recessed, so I would think it is mounted correctly with the screws fitting in the recessed holes. Then I looked closer at the Hood Pivots and notice what looks like to me that they are bent down. So I guess I need to do a little straightening on my Hood Pivots. I'm just wondering how did they get bent? When opening the hood are both the right and left latches suppose to be unlatched. Having one side latch and just opening the unlatch side, would that bend those Hood Pivots? Anyone else got any ideas what would bend these Hood Pivots?
