Had an interesting trip the other day when the front hood flew back, totally blocking all foward view!
It bent/destroyed at least one of the hinges as well as the top panel behind the hood. The hood was also bent. Are there replacement fiberglass or Carbon Fiber hoods made for my 1970 914-6? I would be willing to use pins rather than the old hinges and hood latch. Anyone have a front hood in the NY/NJ area that is in Very Good Shape? David dmilzoff@usa.net |

from my experience, getty FG/CF seems to fit a bit better than the others, but be aware that all FG/CF parts are made for racing purposes and the fit will *never* be as good as a original steel hood ... they can be made to fit ok. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Andy |

You will need some type of a prop rod or a hard head since they are not strong enough for the coil or gas spring...

actually, the stock 911 front hood gas shocks are pretty soft, plus, there's *NO* force on the hinges with the hood down, the gas shocks don't kick in until the hood is half open or so. and if that is still too much, just use one instead of two ... still better than a broom-stick ...
