I`ve removed the plastic cover ,to get at the hood bolts .If it wasn`t for the Forum I wouldn`t have had a clue what to do after I`d remover the three screws and the deflector blocks When a member said the plastic cover was tight ,wow tighter than a ducks backside and that`s water tight !!! Are there just the two bolts as in the photo to lift the hood and frame off .If so that`s amazing ,I restored a Triumph Stag some tome ago and had to buy another hood for it .There were three bolts holding each side and when the bolts were finger tight it was a few hours job to get the hood in the correct position  Still talking about tightness I removed the old oil filter this morning  ,after flushing the engine with 5lt flushing oil and I have never in 25+ years of restoring cars had a filter so tight .It took me over an hour to remove it .Even with a chain clamp and two hands pushing the chain lever it was solid .After driving a long screw driver through the filter a couple of times and then a lot of force did it come off .Once the seal had broken it unscrewed as normal .
