Trunk Lid Hood Pin Mount

[Mechie3]

What does the updated mount look like for the hood pins used on the trunk? My original ones make the transverse hole in the pin stand .75" too high to be useful. Wondering what the updated version looks like.

I've got some pix with those at post #100, looks like the only photos I took that shows them...

I'm looking to see if FFR ever updated this piece that attaches to the rear bumper. I recall seeing different pics, but don't remember if they were custom pieces or FFR pieces. The little tabs FFR gave me put the hole in the pin too high to be useful even when the pin is fully threaded down.

I found a manual update and it shows the new part in it. It's a flat piece with one bent tab and then spacers to offset it downwards.

Are you looking for the mod that Wayne did on his build?
There on his build thread pg 24 post 942.

Yeah, that's essentially what FFR does now. They have that cross bar and then spacers. https://i.imgur.com/efAeIuV.png
