How to install Scott Drake Shelby Hood pins New Edge SN95 with a lanyard holder
As you know these kits are made for S197 Mustangs. They come with some mounting brackets that most would find useless and throw away however they are better served as a mounting point and holder for the lanyards. I retained my hood latch for security. I undo the hood pins then open the stock latch. I have not seen this done before and think this is the first time this has been done.. Pics are taken with my iphone so sorry for fuzzy or low res pics.
First remove your old bump stops and cut open the hole big enough to drop the nuts of
the pin kit, you dont want the holes to be too big as the bottom nut needs to have something to press against, you also want to apply some touch up paint to to avoid rust, you dont have to make it look pretty as you will not see it. (I need to add some grease to that prop rod lol)
Screw in the other nut on the pin, place the pin throw the mounting plate as shown below, there is a hole right below the the nut you dropped earlier, place your finger under the dropped nut and thread the pin on to it
Dab some grease on the pin to mark the hood, you can move the pins around and you should try to center it on the bump stop rest on the hood
Drill a small hole then use a step drive to enlarge the hole, since its fiberglass or CF no need to get an expensive step drill bit but make sure the bit is not to long as you do not want it going through both layers of the hood
(You should use some painters tape up top to minimize chipping, since I have flat paint I had no need) Dab some more grease and mark the outer hood, drill with a small drill bit
