I was just wondering this same thing. I have a H.O. Fibertrends hood on my 98.
I'd like to grab a set of struts too.
I never really wanted them, but I had the hood up on a windy day last week, and it flew off the prop rod and swiftly made it's way toward my windshield. I have no idea how I caught it but I did.
I was looking at the MRT kit. I just dont want to rip my fiberglass hood in half, or put too much stress on it.
I believe MRT has a low pressure option for aftermarket hoods.
Oh damn, I have to modify my hood? Where did you read that?
Just can't let me have one thing over you can you?Everyone gives me hell at car shows/cruise-ins for still using the ole hood prop.
This was the thread I was referring too:
Which hood struts?
I have a Ford 95 Cobra R hood on my Cobra. Which are the best hood struts for this hood? I have Redline on the fox and the S550, MRT on the new edge with carbon fiber hood. Would hate to drill holes into the hood just for hood struts, any no drill kit that will work?www.svtperformance.com
My buddy has the MRT struts on his cervinis cowl hood. Been on there for years without any issues.

MRT struts on a Cervini’s cowl hood .... no modifying anything... been on for years
Any idea what he had to do to get them to fit and what size struts? Even the MRT website says no to aftermarket hoods.

1994-1998 Mustang 1 1/2 Inch Cowl Induction Hood
The hood used on the 1995 Cobra R. The 1995 Cobra R had a 351 Windsor motor and was the last of the Pushrod engines to ever go in a Mustang. The hoods designed and built by H.O. Fibertrends. Only 250 Cars were built for the public, but most ended up in rawww.hofibertrends.com

Ya the HOF hood is much smaller than the Cervinis. The Cervinis is 3.5” vs the original 1.5”. I contacted Cervini about the weight to double check.
No issues at all... not sure about weight but it’s a lot lighter than the stock heavy hood..Do you know what weight and have you had an issues?
