I called and spoke with Neal about the lids a couple of weeks ago. He explained that they add inserts into the CF bracing underneath the lids to allow the use of stock hardware. The bracing underneath the hoods are identical to stock with the exception that the cross piece that normally goes along the "rear" edge (edge closest to the windsheild on the front) has been eliminated for additional weight savings.
The CF hoods weigh about 13lbs. ea, he guessed. I am wondering if the edges will seal as well as a steel lid (assuming new rubbers) if only the stock hinges and latches are used, rather than pins? Joe, since you've just spent some time working with a big piece of CF (albeit from another vendor), do you think that a CF lid will work well w/o pins? |
