Fiberglass Hood - Mounting Options

['76mintgrün'02]

+1 for adding mechanical fastening of some sort.  Larger plates seem like a good idea too, but I'd at least run some screws through the plates you have and epoxy them into their holes. 

 

The bond between the plates and fiberglass is relying on adhesion to a slick metal surface and is likely to be brittle.  The consequences of having them fail while driving would suck.

@tzei and @'76mintgrün'02 I may pivot to a mechanical fastener, we pre-built a hole within that metal triangle piece to do that in the future. For now, it seems to be holding quite steady! Mounted it today, can't say it was not a pain to align everything. Last thing to do is the hood stud!
