PV B18 Hood adjustment 444-544

Hi all; I'm a bit new to this vintage Swedish stuff after a lifetime of being around Triumphs. I need to adjust the hood of our '65 PV544 B18, following an accident repair. The workshop manual gives no guidance. Is all the adjustment with the visible bolts on the hinges? (i.e., the four bolts you can see on the hinges after the hood is open). Is there more to it than that? The hood sits a bit low at the front (though not too bad), but the big problem is the angle at which it sits. The gap between the trailing edge and the bulkhead is too large. The trailing edges of the hood's vertical sides are at a different angle than the bulkhead. The bottom of that vertical edge is almost touching the body, while the top, where it starts to bend around to the main trailing edge across the car, has a large gap. Can anyone offer any tips? Thanks and regards; Tim
