[QUOTE="Prab, post: 249072, member: 4011"] I bought a used 1971 hood to put on my corvette. I also bought a new 1971 hood support to pair with the hood, but the support appears to be too long. When I bolt the support in place and try to lift the hood up, the support isn't able to extend all the way to lock so the hood doesn't stay up. I think the holes in my hood are not the correct distance for a 71 hood, so I'm having trouble figuring out which hood support to use with it. From my understanding, there are three different hood supports I can try: 68 hood support, 69-71 hood support, and 72-73 early hood support. Does anyone know the length of the extension for the 68 hood support and 72-73 early hood support? I need a support that has an extension length less than 15 inches. [ATTACH type="full" width="523px"]83330[/ATTACH] I have also measured the distance from the top of the hood to the bolt holes (roughly 14 inches). If anyone has a hood with a similar distance, could you let me know which hood support you're using? [ATTACH type="full" width="635px"]83329[/ATTACH] Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Prab [/QUOTE]
