So, still ecstatic, still have not driven anywhere with the hood up in three months of ownership
However, trundling back after today's 30+ miles around Beds country lanes, (with a foolish grin plastered across my face), I noticed that the hood stud, forrard left, closest to the door, designed (I presume) to prevent too much flapping with the hood down, was loose. That is, not actually the stud, but the screw to which it is attached had come out of its place in what I also presume is the wooden, fabric covered top bar. It's a self tapper, with a nipple on the top for the hood stud.
I thought I would beg for experienced advice - I'm tempted to fill the hole with a plastic wood derivative and then just screw it back in again (at present, I don't want to over-tighten it).
