Dzus fastener install..

rallye bob · 02-18-2010, 07:35 AM

Need any help I can get on installing a "lift off" glass hood, using brackets bolted to the fenders. Trying to only have to paint the hood....
How do you know the correct length for the "self ejecting" fasteners?
What spring do you get for the brackets?
All the different choices, and sizes have me clueless..... :-( http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?catcode=23051
Any and all help/tips/advice, in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tom....
I have been to that web site (think I am going to get my "hardware" from them), but I am still a little confused on the whole procedure....... Sorry. sometimes I tend to make things more complicated than they really are. At least that's what my kids tell me when I try to do something on the computer.... :-O
