Hood strap length
« on: November 03, 2022, 07:27:28 »
Hi all,

I'm looking for some help with the meaurement of the hood strap when the hood is fully open. Would appreciate a few measurements if possible.

I've attached a diagram as a reference on exactly where to measure.

Thanks all,

Rgds, Joe

Joe,

I measured about 40.5 cm (bottom fold to center of screw along the long side, as you showed).
