Looking for either turnkey kits with the base plates and pins, or I don't mind fabbing the plates if somebody has the 'proper' dimensions and angles etc. written up somewhere. I am not doing an authentic GT replica so I don't need factory parts or exact clones, but this is one area where I think it makes sense to stick as close as feasible to the way it was done on the real GT's.
Here's what I am talking about - http://www.stazak.com/914/gt/hood/hoodplat.html http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/image/24147550 My understanding is they are cut from stainless sheet metal and then the edges are folded over a specific way so as to 'bite' into the fiberglass lid a bit and probably also to give a little bit of spring vs. laying totally flat. Any vendor links or fab tips appreciated. |

I got my hood pins from www.jegs.com in stainless steel and had the plates cut from 14ga SS at a local sheet metal shop for about $15.00, spend some time to round the edge and use some SS pop rivets and it will look fantastic. Pm me and I will get the size and shape of the plates to you, if you want. Ben
