Hey fellas,
As title suggests I want to re align my boot and bonnet as both sit higher on one side and lower on the other..

What do I need to do to get them aligned up nice?

Firstly have 2 folks doing the job.
Secondly are the marks/outlines not on either so you can match it up??
If not it will take a couple of attempts to get it sitting right, keep at it and you will get there my good friend. :D

Are the boot and bonnet new/used parts your replacing?

What i mean is over the 20 odd years there would be an outline of some sort on the boot and bonnet as to where they sat flush with which you can line it up with.

Hope you follow, if not somebody should be along to clear it up.
