Try isolating the stay rod.

Ok, have had a bit of a challenge getting rid of a rattle at front of the
hood on the 3A.  I can't tell if it is the dzuz fasteners on the sides or
the main striker in the middle.  I put a rubber cap on the striker shaft and
that helped, but then it came back.  Any ideas?  Do the side fasteners need
a thin rubber washer between the hood and fastener underneath?
Any ideas appreciated.

Have you tried isolating the prop rod by putting o-rings or rubber/plastic
washers in its mount?  That's a common source of bonnet rattle.

Hi Jim...my TR3 (57, small mouth)...would give me more worries if it did Not rattle, but the bonnet (hood) ... I learned that lesson when I forgot to lock the dzus down in a test run after some work was done...got whacked on the head, broke the windshield, and the bonnet was toast... so I have rattling but nothing falls off so I’m good.🥴
These cars were made to drive...so just have fun.

Best Wishes 🤞

Jim;

I find that with the car idling , the car parked and the bonnet propped up,
rattle come from the Dzus fasteners, the bonnet hinges and most any bracket
where the bolts aren=E2=80=99t sufficiently tightened down. But with the bo=

secured down and the Dzus fasteners locked, things are quite a bit quieter.
Tweaking the idle speed also affects the harmonics some.
