[Tigers] Hood bumper

Tue May 24 21:00:40 MDT 2016

Actually, if you are leaving the hood open s couple of inches then you can build an upside down hood pin latch. Remove the spring latch in the rear center, replace it with a shortened hood pin, then make a Z shaped receiver plate for it. use an R clip to hold the hood in the closed position. You can reach the clip through the opening at the rear of the hood.

With pins you could also lay a length of hose in the center (about 1.5 or 1.75 dia.) and use the pins (adjusted for height) to keep your hood from flying up. The hose should keep the hood open enough for additional air flow.

I have all kinds of junk around, but can't think of anything that I could modify that would serve this purpose. Any ideas?  A Tiger owner once mentioned something he saw being used, but I can't remember what it was.
