Hi there I need to replace the hood on a MkIV spitfire. This is a job I haven't tried before and is towards the end of a restoration (it isn't yet taxed). Any help on the following would be really useful. What are the pros and cons of the various types of hood? Is it worth the extra to get either a DD or Mohair version? If you get a hood, will the fittings come with it? If not, what do I need? The body has no attachments at the moment, so I will need to drill and fit the popper studs. What are there tips and trick to get this right? When it comes to fitting the hood, again - what tips and tricks are there? I will now be storing it under a cover and under cover (but in an open sided shed. Is it better to try to fit the hood "soon" or wait for warmer weather? (I have heard that it best done in warm weather or inside and I don't have a big enough "inside") Are there any online videos or picture sthat will help? Anything else I need to know? Thanks in advance.
