Stephen,
There are 3 slightly different hood bows within the range of the BN1. The
first had simple pivot points where the arms connect to the anchor plates.
The second had somewhat elongated slots in the one pair of irons so they
could slide and pivot more freely. The third has that slot in the arms
opened up into about a 120 degree L shape so the top assembly could slot
down and recess back further aft to allow better clearance between folded
assembly and the seat backs. Yours will likely be the second series though
possibly the 3rd. It's not clear when one was superseded by the other.
Here are some pictures showing the second series with the small slot. This
is from a July 13/54 BN1. Note also both the first series and this series
uses the single screw per side with trim washer that enters in through the
top material right on the rear dart seam, pierces through the grey webbing
strap inside and anchors into the hole in the rearmost hood bow.
Pictures of the 3rd series to follow.
Listers please note: I am sending this all to John Sims in case he wishes to
post this with pictures to his site, so please don't all ask me for
"pictures please"

Subject: [Healeys] BN1 Hood configuration
Hi everyone, just putting finishing touches to re-build, but am not clear
how hood frame should work as mine appears bent in several places has anyone
got some good photos of hood in both down and up positions. I need this as I
need to mount my seat belts and do not want to find I have put the mounts in
the wrong place. Thanks for all the help with this matter. Stephen
