So........finally decided to tackle the worn out hood hinge on the Demon. Not too bad of a job really and just required lots of patience. We were able to access the hinge by removing the inner fender and the bottom bolts on the lower fender. Didn't even break the retaining clips and were able to re-use them!! Thank you Arizona metal.......:-D

Here's the problem. While re-installing the hood and adjusting for fit, one of the rear nuts that's built into the hood stripped out :angry4:.

What does everyone think is the best way to fix it? HeliCoil, tap it to a larger size, or ???

Please feel free to chime in w/ your experience or ideas. If there's a link to a thread here on FABO that I missed on this repair, please post it up. I haven't seen one.
