Help me mount my hood pins
Permalink Closed

yeah, I know... not the right forum, but I wanted as much exposure as possible quickly.

Anyway, I need to find a location for the hood pins. The contour of the under hood makes finding a location difficult. Attached are 4 pictures showing the two easiest locations to work with. Other locations are possible but may require a bit of creativity to get mounted.
Let me know your ideas and suggestions;

For looks I like the first one. But for function, like Tony and Tommy said, So it doesn't start to lift on the corners.

I have not mounted those hinges yet T, I need to sandblast them before I do anything with them. Once I get them cleaned up I'll mount them and see how they do.
