I just mention the tolerances as it is one of the thing that our teacher in engineering school go nuts over.
I'd consider a small chamfer on the inside of the hood. It will increase strength and most likely reduce machining time.
Anyways I'd much rather use a socket head wrench or ring type wrench with track dropouts than an open type.
