[DeTomaso] Deck lid wobbles

[Mikael]

What's the root cause, maybe better to fix than hood pins etc.? I do believe
that my deck lid doesn't touch the sides, stock latch, two screw bumpers, no
more. Could your hinge pins be worn? Since the deck lid is metal and the
hinges are pretty solid (not like the wobbly 4 piece front hood hinges on my
68 Camaro) it shouldn't touch the sides? Sorry if all this has been looked
into, but in Lean-speak it's better to correct a problem than to compensate
for it...

Just my $0.02

Mikael

I used the two hood pin idea, and a new latch that reduces wobble, and with
those two mods there is absolutely no more problem with chipped edges.
