OldDad67 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I just received my rear hood support and was wondering if any one had a photo of how it attaches to the rear center of the hood. Is there a bracket or something that bolts to the cener of the hood? Truly a mystery at this point, but I know the experts on this site will have the answer. Thanks in advance.

randroid Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 OldDad, On the ends of the brace are holes for small bolts. On the hinges are corresponding threaded holes where the bolts attach. It is my understanding that some hinges do not have these threaded holes and if such is the case for your hinges your best bet would be for you to send the brace to me because I have not been able to find one in twenty years of searching. I have seen pictures of how the center support mounts to the brace and the center of the hood but cannot explain it well without having a picture to show you. It goes vertically from the center of the brace to the center of the hood with an adjustment in its middle to set the height. Sorry for the spelling errors but I have yet to find a spell checker that works with the new forum format. -Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Here's a picture of my brace. There is a small L shaped bracket to attach to hood center seam. Then the hood hinges have threaded bolt holes already in them for the sides. click on picture to enlarge......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
