MK4 Hood Hinge issues

[mcwho]

I am getting for the test body fit as the body is in primer and the go-ccart has been done. Wanting to fit the body, doors, hood and trunk. Looking at the manual and all the hood hinge parts I fine the following:

1. The shoulder bolts to NOT fit through the holes that are in the brackets, AND
2. the Bronze/brass bushings are missing. Anyone else have this issue. I will call ffr aftetr I see a couple feedbacks.

Thanks

Only the small (threaded) end of the shoulder bolts fit through the hinges. The larger ends goe through bushings. So maybe that's not a problem? Not having the bushings is a problem though. They are pretty standard parts and are available at McMaster in several flavors. But you should have received them in the bag of hood hinge hardware. It's a pretty big bag with a lot of stuff, including the ball ends for the gas struts, etc. If not in there, a call to FF should get them for you.
