I have seen 914's with two and some with four hood pins in the front trunk. How many would be recommended for a fiberglass front trunk lid? Can I get away with just two?
Cheers, Elliot |

If you just use the stock latch, is there some evidence of that letting go from a fiberglass hood?
Think about all the fiberglass kit cars....no hood pins there. If you are keen on hardware, I would suggest you go back to your other passion and find some really cool looking airplane latches....and please document the install so we can steal your idea...and rag on you while yo do it. |
