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 |

airplane latches are great but could be a little expensive and problem in installation. I like the racing pins with the appropriate metal backings underneath and on the exterior. I would use four when using the hinges; six if the lid is just placed on and secured by racing pins.
One thing that is a must is the modification of the fuel filler unit. I really like the hood fuel unit to be opened with a lid covering the filler cap and and aluminum filler cap/drain scupper/filler tube. Everything done right; really looks cool!!! Steve |
