I have read about 2 pins, 4 pins used for mounting hood.
Are there any other ideas? Does anyone remove tension/springs, and use existing hinges? Retro |

QUOTE(Mueller @ Oct 15 2004, 04:20 PM) are the 'glass hoods* strong enough not to snap in half when trying to close the hood Most manufactureres offer normal fg parts and "race" parts which are laid up to be much lighter, not good for a street car. I have seen some of the fg race panels flex and bow at speed from aero load. The nicer fg hoods and trunks I have seen have reinforcements built in and aluminum bosses to mount to the stock hinges. |
