Coupe Hood Rollers

[turbodon]

Everyone

I have had some calls about the Coupe Hood Rollers.

You can buy them at Whitby Motorcars.

You can also buy replacement roller wheels.

The roller wheels lasted about 5 years and 15,000 before the heat of the headers caused cracking..

They're pretty easy to make. I've done a couple of sets using .125" aluminum and some Amazon skateboard wheels.

That looks really good, what diameter wheel are you using?

The setup from Whitby is not for a Gen 3 Coupe, although maybe they can be made to work? I don't know. Picture included is either a Gen 1 or Gen 2. For my Gen 3 build, made my own and and documented in my build thread. I've received multiple messages and others have copied them. Link below. I used these skate wheels from Amazon. Still available. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GR57GGQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1. Work great.

Made them myself too, these things are a must. Idk how anyone closes their hood without them.

They look like inline skate wheels. I bet they would work fine.
