Lessons learned - elephant ears

They do look bent. I wonder what caused that?
It sure is weird. At first I thought someone had let the engine hang on them but it's sort of an arcing bend not straight back like I would expect from that.

They're garage art now or will be as soon as I disassemble that lump.

.......and why would you even attempt to pull it with the hood on? There was another thread here somewhere about somebody doing that. I never have understood that. Just mark it and you can put it right back where it was. Just seems to me that's trying to make life more difficult.

Yeah I didn't understand it either and had never heard of it until I came here.

I typically don't even mark them, getting the hood back on in the right place never seemed that hard to me. It can only move front to back, there's no side-to-side adjustment. Just don't slam it and whack the latch into the rad support or grille. :thumbsup:
