New hood torment 

Posted By : Damian Pearson, 17-Mar-2004, 12:57pm

Can anyone help?
I am in the middle of fitting a new hood to me 1500 spitfire and have ran into a problem.
I have fitted the back plate to the hood and attached it to the car. Over the past few days I have stretched the hood forward and have achieved what I think is the right amount of tension. The problem I have is that the very last popper on both the backsides will not stretch to fit.
The poppers came already attached to the hood when I bought it. Is their a knack to getting them to fit?

Please Please help,
Damian Pearson.
