This is something I need to check out on the 52 Merc. Ever since I installed the hood and fenders from my 53 parts car I have noticed a slight misalignment of the hood with a larger gap on one side than the other. I could not see any adjustments on the hood to move it to one side or the other but maybe this spring loaded spike can pull the hood into alignment.
