Another Bristol 412 hood question.

[johnelfixit]

412 rear hood is fastened to the rear body by four studs and nuts. If you remove the rear trim (about 2" wide) running around the rear of the base of the hood and above the rear parcel shelf (mine is not fixed but stays in position by natural springiness) you will see these four studs. Look just to the rear of the fuel filler hose and you will see the first one, follow round to the rear to find two, and the last is opposite to the first. The nuts securing the studs (and hence the hood) can be accessed from inside the boot, but you may have to remove a bit of trim.
Bottom of the hood has a sort of trapezoidal section of metal around which the hood material wraps, and has the studs welded on which secure the hood to the rear body.
Difficult to describe in words, drop in and have a look at mine (20mls South of Shrewsbury)
