Hood Part 3

January 10, 2016 -

  Most of this was actually done yesterday but I wrapped up the hood latches today.  The only odd thing I found was the metal brackets that are the "catch" for the swinging lever under the hood needed holes bigger than the 7/64" drill bit the manual recommended. Other than that it was pretty straightforward.  I did go with the manual's recommendation when drilling the big 5/8" holes through the hood of stepping up in drill bit size slowly and using reverse for the larger bits.  I also used some masking tape on the top side of the hood to help prevent chipping. Maybe it helped. Unless you have a *really* big chip, the hood handles will cover up divots around the edge of your holes.
