Panel Alignment issues.

Post by Holden61,64 »

Hi
I'm in the process of building an Ek sedan. I've put all the panels back on and everything is looking good. All my panel gaps and margins are really good except when i shut the bonnet
i end up on one side where the bonnet bar meets the indicator the bonnet sits out about 5mm past where it should and on the other side in the same spot it sits 3mm short of where its supposed to be. all the other bonnet margins are fine and i've run out of adjustment.
Have i done something wrong?
Am i better off learningto live with because everywhere else is good?
Any advice would be helpfull
Thanks
Dave

If photos are missing they might have been moved from where you hosted them, mods won't delete any useful pic's.
