  No, just make sure you have a new rubber seal at the front if needed, and access to a duradot tool and a pop riveter.

    Hi Brendan
    Thanks for getting back. I am buying the hood from TSSC which comes with a fixing kit but not sure if this will include the rubber seal. If not where can I get one ?
    Cheers

        If the club still use Don Trimming I would not recommend them, in my opinion they don't fit. I ended up selling mine on ebay at a loss.
        Buy one from "Coventry Hood" either direct (http://www.trim-technology.co.uk) or through many of the traiders. They claim these are made using the original tools & my vinyl one fitted very well.
        
        Edit: Website seems to be down but I think Canleys, Moss, James Paddocks etc sell these hoods.
