These marks will be used to
align the centerline of the
bracket's ball-studs in the
following steps.
18”
5-3/4"
A. Carefully drill the hole as shown to the right using a
(#11 indexed bit)or (use 3/16" bit if #11 bit is not available).
If you do not have a #11 indexed bit, you can use the 3/16" bit, however
you may have to test fit the rivet and slightly ream hole until rivet fits
tightly through bracket and hole - 3/16" is slightly smaller than the #11
bit.
For those who do not have a depth-stop, wrap a piece of electrical
tape around the drill bit about 1/4" from the tip to prevent the bit
from denting the hood skin. Use new and sharp bits!
A. Align the center of the bracket with the mark you just made
on the hood. You will need to view the hood directly from the
side as shown in Figure 4A. The bracket should sit on the inner
frame with the ball stud facing out or away from the vehicle -
Figure 4B & C.
B. Holding bracket in place, mark the center of the lower hole
using a permanent felt tip marker. You may need to trim back
the hood’s insulation as shown. Use photos from this step and
others to clarify mounting location.
C. Set bracket aside. Using a center punch and a hammer, tap
the center of the mark you just made (this indention will help
guide the drill bit and keep it from wandering). Check
placement before continuing.
A. Hold the bracket in position.
B. With the bracket lined up again, place a rivet through the bracket
and hole with the long stem sticking outward. The rivet may require
a few twists while pushing it in.
C. Check to be sure your rivet gun has the 3/16" rivet head installed,
then slide rivet gun onto rivet. While applying downward force on
rivet and bracket, firmly squeeze riveter handle multiple times until
rivet gun pops and snaps off the rivet stem.
Step 4 - Align bracket and mark 1st hole for drilling.
Step 5 - Drill #11 indexed bit hole, or 3/16" hole.
Step 6 - Rivet lower end of bracket to hood.

A. Reposition or rotate bracket into
the proper position against hood lip.
Carefully drill the second hole
through bracket hole and hood
frame.
Wrap end of drill bit 1/4" down from
tip with electrical tape to keep drill bit
from pulling through and hitting
hood skin.
Step 7 - Drill and rivet second hole.

Step 11 - Mark center with marker, punch, then drill and rivet.
A. Using a permanent marker, mark the 2nd hole of
the fender bracket.
B. Using a center punch and a hammer, tap the
center of the marked hole. This will help guide the
drill bit and keep it from wandering
C. Drill hole, then rivet as in earlier steps.
A. The hood has a symmetrical under structure. Repeat Steps 3-7 to install the upper passenger hood bracket.
Take your time and be sure to use the short headed rivets for the other hood bracket.
A. Hold the bracket in
position as shown to the
right. Back of bracket
should be up against inner
fender lip with the ball-stud
pointing inward or toward
the engine. Mark center of
the right hole and drill hole
using the same drill bit as
used on the hood brackets.
Step 8 - Repeat steps 3-7 and install the passenger side hood bracket.
Step 9 - Position and mark first hole for driver's side fender bracket.

A. Repeat Steps 9-11 to attach the passenger side fender bracket. The vehicle is symmetrical so the same locators
can be used. Feel free to measure off of key areas to ensure a symmetrical installation.
Step 12 - Repeat steps 9-11 to attach the passenger fender bracket.
A. Have a friend hold the hood up. Remove the stock
prop rod assembly at this time.
B. Install the driver's side gas spring with the cylinder at
the top (large end up). Be sure that the sockets snap
securely onto the ball studs. Have a friend remain
holding the hood up until Step 14 is completed. This
procedure is most easily done if the hood ends are
snapped on first and attach the lower fender ball studs
last.
Step 13 - Install Gas Springs
Step 14 - Remove prop rod.
A. Using a 10mm socket and wrench, remove the two bolts
that hold on the prop rod. Discard.
