Hood pin installation.
« on: November 06, 2005 - 06:06:02 PM »
What location should the holes for hood pins be drilled on a Cuda?  I noticed there are holes in the bracing that the pins go through and figured I can center the hole, but didn't know if this is the correct way to do this.

You are correct I have done this several times doing it that way.

Make sure you get the right hood pin kit, some have recessed screws (like you need) and others (for fiberglass hoods I've been told) do not.
