The design of the 42-48 hood hinges drops the cowl end on the hood just as the front engages the safety catch. Any wear of hinge, particularly the pivots, will interfere with the hood closure. On my '47 I ordered a new set of hinges from C&G after spending way too much time trying to make the originals work correctly. The part number is 51A-16782/3. Catalog shows price as $$79.95. Order # is (800) 266-0470.
