    Guys,
    I ordered gray hood insulation set from year one.
    I need to make an "X" cut for the hood tach wire.
    Anyone have a picture for placement of the X.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jeff

    Here's a picture from one of the cars in the concours class at the BPG Nat's last year. I don't have any measurements but this will give you an idea of what to do.

    Larry,
    Thanks for the picture, it will do fine! :TU:
    I was told it was an "X" cut in the insulation?? :Do No:
    But if this is a picture of a "Concours car",
    then it must be correct.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    If you look at the picture closely you can see the "X" cut into the hood insulation.

    I can see it now, it's just that only one triangle portion of the insulation has pulled down, making it look like an L cut.
