In fear of my cf hood flying off, I added the hood locks. But after hours of drilling and fitting, I can't get them to line up. The hood is curved, so the locking pins come in at an angle, and the receiving latches are sraight from the headlight support, so they don't meet up. I'm now kicking myself.

Any ideas?

 

weld the loocking nuts at a angle to fit but for percise measurement I would let a welding place do it if you dont have the knowledge.

 

i would suggest getting some longer bolts, or extend a bracket, and bend it the way you need it you didn't necessarily ruin your hood, just not going as planned. try another way .

 

Sounds like a job for McGyver. Suggest welding or bolting tabs off the off the headlight support at an angle. Home Depot style.

 

mcgyver style = 'welding' = jb weld that **** nukka.

 

i bent the support that my pins fastened to a lil towards the window. its not very smooth then i put the hood on, put it works fine for me!
