maximus35 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'm wondering what compound I can use to bond the stock metal hood hinges to fiberglass hood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeko Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'm wondering what compound I can use to bond the stock metal hood hinges to fiberglass hood? I would Epoxy some fasteners to the hood so you have some adjustment in the latch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 There are some serious body panel adhesives these days available at an autobody supply store but since it is your hood I would be temped to also mount it with some flush head bolts and adhesive. The thought of your hood flying off to Kansas at high speed is not a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess it's something I could try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritrebor Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I would fiberglass aluminum angle brackets to the hood and bolt the hood hinges to them. This will give you some adjustments for lining up your hood so it fits correctly. ritrebor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximus35 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 What would be the best way to bond the angle brackets to the hood, and has anyone done this like someone with a fiberglass hood? My dad is the one that is good with fiberglass I don't know much about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
