Hood/ Hood Repair

Post by jph3 »

Here's what I have... 1995, everything is in perfect shape, but the hood. Cracked in the front, two of the three placement tabs are broken off.

Should I... buy a new hood (used)? Or try to repair? If repair, any ideas on a good repair kit/ correct adhesive/ etc.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hood repair

Post by cdcarda »

My son smashed his 99 KC head on into my daughters 72 KC and the ski smashed her hood and belly pan into several large chunks. I roughed the back of the hood and belly pan up with some sandpaper and fiber-glassed the back of the broken areas and it is pretty strong now. I still had enough hood hinge to work on mine. Some people have added piano hinges or other hinges in replacement of the broken tabs. that is what worked for me.

Good luck

Chad
