How to attach fiberglass hood
If your fiberglass hood is more “robust” we got away with four pins at the corners, which simply required drilling holes. I later went to a lightweight race hood (1/2 the weight of the old one) and have 8 points of attachment with that one. That deal required welding some tabs for the additional mounting points. Originally on the lightweight hood we ran Quik Latches which were great looking, but a pita to set up and align. I just recently chit canned them and now have ugly pins again…. but its so much easier!
