rustykan 140 #1 Posted January 31, 2015 What is the best way to deal with a rattling hood on a C-120? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,839 #2 Posted January 31, 2015 Take out the pivot rod where the hinge is and replace it with a short bolt on each side, 2 washers, and a NYLOK nut to stop the rattle. Draw the NYLOK nuts tight enough that you have to use a little effort to open the hood. If it is your hood ornament rattling, force a bit of rubber inner tube under it...MAYBE If the rattle is back near the s/wheel where it locks down to the dash, use a bit of Velcro strip on either side of the latch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the rattle is coming from the latch end. I was thinking about some foam adhesive strips, but the velcro would work also and maybe last longer. Don't have a hood ornament, so it's not that.

Shynon 7,481 #4 Posted February 1, 2015 slit some fuel line and put it over the front edge of the dash, then close the hood and latch. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
