Jaye

 

Aerolatch only ones to use imo

 

That's what I use. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aec-120-2000

 

would love to see some pics of these in use to see where there being installed at

 

I like these myself.....................https://www.summitracing.com/parts/qul-ql-25-s

Used a pair of them on a buddies Chevelle and they worked great.

 

Same here. They work great.

 

Existing holes in rad support beside adjusters puts in the flat area rite off the fender

 

I like the aero latch also but am concerned about locating the pin; their instructions shows cutting the hood but not locating the pin, which I think needs to be done before cutting the holes in the hood. Any pictures of your installed

 

Yea give me 30 min, you locate the pin like you would with any pin, but a pic is worth a thousand words

 

This is on my 70' steel hood....






You didn't specify if your fiberglass hood was a bolt on or a lift-off. Lift-off will require dzus fasteners on the sides and pins in the rear as well like photo below.


Hope these pics help....Jim/Rott

 

It’s a heavy duty bolt on , so I’ll only need the front pins

 

Pics of the install on wife's Z/28 'glas hood:
Not very good second pic, but you can still see where we mounted the pin on the fender/core support brace. This was because mounting on support would put the latch way forward past the hood edge.
I plan on replacing the pins on my Skylark with Aerocatch.

 

Mine is essentially the same as jim's

 

Thanks for the information Guys, I'll probably get a pair next week

GM made these. I found on Ebay for $75. And Yes these are for Buick. Rare. you can find these on Ebay Baldwin Motion . for $575.

 

But these are on my other hood. I would not put on my original.
