Hartline Fiberglass Hood

[gnloyalty877]

For those who are running one of hartlines hoods how are you attaching the hood spring to the hood or the body and are you guys using the stock latch? Any pics would be helpful.

Although I've never seen one 'in person'', I've heard that it's the nicest fiberglass hood for GN's...I assume you use the stock latch and spring system
Curiously, I've looked on Hartline's web site and never saw it .

I figured out how to run the spring. Now my question is what type spring should i use as i would assume the stock is to stiff.

Most people use a starter bendex.

Thanks for the kind words, Claude

What is the weight savings for the bolt-on hood? Fiberglass bolt-on trunk?

Last time I heard Hartline refused to ship this due to it getting damaged during shipping. Is that still the case? I would really like to purchase one but I'm all the way in California.

We will ship but it's expensive. Probably a couple hundred to CA. If you're still interested, call Holly Monday and she can give you an exact price.

Will do. Thanks

One of the best hoods you can buy. I used a spring from a dodge van. I attached it to the hood but run no secondary latch. I run little hood clips in the corners.

Are the hood pins required?

 

[HighPSI]

I recommend them if your above 140mph

Got mine for $40 bux lucky # 666 @ Reynolds many yrs ago. Ima use the aerospace lock downs. they look like black tear drops

I would definitely recommend hood pins of some sort of you are not running a secondary latch. The factory does the secondary safety for a reason. If you have a hood fly up you will figure out why real quick.

Hi , I am gonna buy the hartline hood , do you not use the factory latch ? the one that pops when you pull the hood release in the car ? thank you

the safety latch bolts up as it would for factory . the spring needs to be a little lighter and installed on the rad support with the tail under the radiator top plate
