sorry to hear you are scrapping the tilt hood after all that work. nice tech article for a seat of your pants build as you go.
I have a set of repops that look as good for quality as the originals maybe a maintenance thing why they wear out in the first place. not a lot of guys lubing hood hinges over the years. one shop I worked at never heard of doing that unless they were starting to seize up.
