Fiberglass Hood attachment

[Unaweep]

My Bronco has a fiberglass hood installed by the previous owner. It just uses two pins on the front, no hinges in back side.

The problem is when we go off-roading, the hood bounces on the back as its not attached and I'm afraid I'll tear the hood off around the front pins.


Any recommendation on a rear side attachment? I still want to be able to totally remove the hood, so a hinge is not what I'm looking for.

I've thought of another pin, Velcro, strap, etc...

Into the four hinge holes screw in studs. Drill corresponding holes in the hood, where a hinge might install. Trim studs to allow hood to be pivoted up and off of the the front pins, but not so short that the hood dislodges from the studs while wheeling. You could also slide some short lengths of rubber hose over the studs to help keep everything snug while off road.

Just an idea.

Common practice is two more hood pins on the rear.

how about fabbing brackets at the old hinge placement to accept quick mount body cam locks. Summit & any speed shop should have them.

Hope this helps http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mor-71500/overview/ I was thinking if you used a stock set of hood hinges and notch the hood to accept the hinge on the flat of the hood use the quick cams to attach the hood to hinges then the hood could be both opened or removed.
