Six pack scoop install
I recently purchased a bolt on Six pack hood scoop from UP22 and 5 weeks later I got it and they didnt send the mounting hardware like they were supposed to. The quality wasnt that great, but I fixed the spots they messed up on. I had to do some trimming to sit correctly on the center of the hood. Once I got that done I test fitted it.
I found center on the hood for the back of the scoop and center on the front part of the hood where I wanted the scoop. After that I took a sharpie and outlined where the scoop was gonna go and my scoop had a 2" lip for mounting so I measured it out on my hood so I knew where to drill my holes.
I chose where I wanted my holes to be. After that I placed the scoop back on the hood and just stuck the 1/8" drill bit back thru the holes that I predrilled in the hood to drill the scoop, so the holes would be lines up. Once I did that, I began sanding the hood down to baremetal where the scoop was marked out, so I could bond it to the hood with bonding adhesive. While I was at it, I cut a hole in the hood to get air to the motor. A 5 gallon bucket worked good for this for the size of hole I wanted. I didnt want to cut the whole scoop section out and have to brace the hood afterwards.
I had to make some of the holes I drilled bigger in the inner bracing to be able to get my washer and nyloc nut in so the scoop could be tight as possible to the hood. I chose to use 1/4"x20x3/4" long stainless bolts with washers and nyloc nuts to help hold the scoop to the hood as well as the bonding adhesive, so I just redrilled my holes to fit my 1/4" bolts.
I sanding the hood and bottom of the scoop with 50 grit sandpaper so the bonding adhesive had something to bit into to help hold it as well. I then applied my bonding adhesive to the scoop, I applied more than I needed but I wanted it to ooze out so I knew it would be plenty and put in a couple of bolts in the scoop to help line it up to the hood as I was sitting it down for the last time. Once it was down I started putting my bolts in and tightening them up. I started in the back and tightened from side to side until all the bolts were tightened.
Having the hole in the center of the hood helped me to get a wrench on the bolt to be able to tighten.
