** OFFICIAL ** Hood Brackets for Gas Shocks Mod. Thread

As many of you know, I make the brackets for the Hood Gas Shocks Mod. They attach the Gas Shocks to the hood and utilize the ball mounting already attached to the Nitro engine compartment. This mod makes the prop rod redundant and the shocks hold up the hood. See pics below.
If anyone wants to do this mod but cannot make the brackets themselves, I would gladly supply them. Just send me a PM and I'll explain the cost and shipping in more details.

I think these will work great! The ones I bought previously had the wrong sized ball socket thingie on the upper end and I had all sorts of trouble finding the correct sized ball stud thingies. I evenutally found some larger ones and filed them down, but I didn't feel good about them. Then I tried to install the gas shocks I purchased, but they were almost 2x the pressure required. I couldn't even compress them at all manully. :mad:

I PM'd Lou and he set me up with the correct shocks and the correct ball stud thingies. These shocks can be compressed manually, so I think they will work. I just have to find the correct bolts now and I'm ready to go! :wiggle2:
