Sometime back I pulled out my engine lid to install one of those air coolers which lifted the engine lid. I have since removed it as its Winter and having it on allowed rain to come into the engine.

However one side doesn't seem to fit. Leaving a slight gap on one side. And the engine lid can't close properly now.

There are two nuts (x2) which hold the lid onto the hinges. I guess I just adjust them til it fits?

These can be a bit of a bugger to adjust,basically it just takes a bit of tinkering with the up-down adjustment and the in out position of the hinges to get it right. This is not a 5 minute fix and the result depends on the care of the operator.

Do the size of the bolts matter? I put in quick release hinge pins - would they have an effect?
