Thread: 32 Hood Center Hinge Cover

Tweet

Hey Joey, check out this recent thread: "FALSE ALARM!! I went on a wild goose chase ! " in it you will see a lot of 4 piece hood photos along with detailed instructions as to how to break it apart, including hinge.. Might help you...

I love 4 piece hoods. I just think, wouldn't you be better off buying a two piece top and using it with your current sides (if they will fit - not sure what your hood set up is) and you can save your solid one piece top to use when you want to show off your engine (open sides)... But since I am a new bie too, you may want to check with the experienced deuce owners here first, to see if this might work out...

Joey, here is an illustration of the center stainless hood hinge strip that I stole from the Bob Drake catalog. It shows how the strip is formed on the underside to fit the rounded edges of the hood top halves to form the hinge.

What you are considering could probably be done and hopefully it wouldn't stick up too high to match the cowl spear and the grille shell ornament.

I might try to figure a way to bolt it on rather than use the tape tho.

Awesome, just what i needed... for 20 bucks I'm gonna buy one and see what it looks like when it gets here.
