MK3 Spitfire hood

[Piglet]

Hi everyone

Has anybody got some photos of how the front latches fit to the hood frame? Not sure if I've fitted mine properly and they seem a little loose. Is there a washer that sits inside somewhere?

Many thanks, Alex

Alex - Don't know about the MkIII latches but mine are also loose until locked onto the top frame, then they are tight. I have not considered taking mine apart, but a spring washer type thing would be a good idea.

Thanks BW. Turns out I've put it on all wrong!

Ok, so what have you done. Cummon, own up.

I need to remove the windscreen top and fit the brass mountings in there...yes I am a twerp.
