The Creation Of A Spit6

Spent the afternoon working on the boot lid install.
Well, here's a couple of things I learned.
If the gap on one side keeps coming back to too close, check your hinges, one may be bent. Don't know how, maybe by PO.
Another, your new gasket will not let you get it down to level. It really shows up when the ridges have been removed.
Changed the gasket to some stuff I had from another job, worked great. No movement or rattle when pulling on it.
Start all bolts down to a couple of turns and cover the rear deck with some multi layers of towels. Do the same on the trunk surround, get it in place with gaps good and reach through the side of the gas tank to tighten the two side bolts with a deep well 1/2 inch socket on a 1/4 inch racket.
Now you can lift, tighten the single bolt and see how well you did. Install you gasket and see what you got, bet it's too high.
It will go down with wear. According to Mr. Humphs, (John Inman) if you remember the show Are You Being Served. LOL
