[QUOTE="DocB, post: 11895583, member: 64184"] As you know, I was recently forced to get a new hood. Just installed the TR fiberglass hood on an S197 08 Mustang GT. The hood is real nice and fits well. Although it could use some improvement in aero design, I will have to forego the mod at this time as I am itching to get back on track. My question for you fellas that have installed this hood with hood pins is in regards to the hood pin latch screws. The location for the latches is very thin fiberglass, and is two layers about an inch apart. The latch kit comes with very small screws and tiny clips that have worked well in aluminum, but are just not going to make it in FG. What did you use that you felt comfortable with that would hold up and not rip out in a crash? Below are some pics to show the type of latches I am using. I would like to stay with these latches as they are correct for the car. (Before anyone gets of topic, the outside two pins are not yet fully positioned.) Any help or info with latch pin plate retention greatly appreciated. [ATTACH=full]334713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334714[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
