The mounting brackets for the hood hinge are just bent sheet metal held on to the body with one 8mm bolt. They are well known for seizing up and being bent and torn to bits. Good idea to fit a couple of grease nipples into each end of the cross tube where the round bits welded to the mounting brackets rotate inside the tube.
