OTS bonnet hinge rebuild

[Nickolas (Nick Saltarelli)]

It’s a well discussed topic. Recently here:

XK120 bonnet touches bulkhead: how to fix?

hello all, when i open the bonnet of my XK120 it touches the bulkhead. When lifting the bonnet at the front, the hinges at the rear drop the bonnet for a little and then when raising the bonnet open, the rear end touches the bulkhead lightly. The car is at the paintshop and they can’t fix the problem. Has anyone had this? Is there a simple fix? Are the hinges to be replaced? Any help or experience much appreciated. BR Joep

Later down in the thread I posted what I did to solve the problem, which involved adding a small stop to each hinge to prevent it from dropping slightly part way through actuation.
