I wanted to to add a comment about setting up the hood springs. Even thought the brackets are the same dimension, they can't be installed symmetrically on the car or the hood wont close. One side has to be a bit higher and more forward than the other and I don't know why. It's the same on Jeffrey's car!

   Pleased to see the MGB springs appear to be OK. Do you think you have the arms in the best configuration? On my car and I think most others they are the other side up so the coil spring moves up and back as the bonnet/hood closes. Looks more elegant to me although the mechanical action is the same either way.
