I have recently been working on my Cobra R hood I ordered from SCP. There is a lot of work to get it to fit. I am trying to just get it to a point where it works and then let a bodyman do the rest. I had to grind off quite a bit of the hinge flange on both sides to get the hinges on the hood. I raised the latch as high as it will go and it's not even close. It will barely catch the safety latch. If I have to do some fabrication that is fine, but I haven't read any perfect ways of fixing. Also, by raising the latch, now the safety release of course does not sit flat. Any ideas on fixing both problems? Why do they not make the hood to where the latch doesn't need modified?
For the lift supports, I have read numerous times to use old worn out ones. I can't believe nobody has come up with a part that will work perfectly. So I am working on that issue and will post what I come up with. I am trying ones with 40 lbs of force first. The question I have is, why do we have 2 different size ball mounts when all supports come with the same at both ends? How do we replace the lower ball and where do we find a 10mm replacement? Thanks for the help.
