5. Tighten bolts snug so they are securely attached.
6. Attach the hood to the hinges using the supplied 5/16” x 1” button head bolts, each one with an AN
washer and flat washer. Be sure to use anti-seize on all bolts before installing.
Note: Depending on your hood manufacturer, you may need a shorter bolt when
attaching the hinge to the hood. Check length before installing and tightening, making sure to look for
dimpling on top side of hood. Do not tighten bolts yet you will have to
maneuver the hinges and hood in order to get a proper fit.
7. To avoid hitting your cowl when closing the hood for the first time, slide the hood as far
forward as possible before closing. Close hood carefully making sure it does not hit the
fenders or cowl.
8. Check the height and position and make any adjustments by repositioning the hinge slightly at the
hood or firewall locations. PLEASE NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO “DRILL OUT” MOUNTING
HOLES TO ACHIEVE MORE ADJUSTMENT. DOING THIS WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES NOT
TO MENTION BEING DANGEROUS.
9. Once hood position has been set, tighten all bolts, remove tape and go.
ASSEMBLY NOTES:
1. Although our hinges are marketed as an easy install, Eddie Motorsports recommends that
you have these hood hinges installed by a professional to avoid the possibility of damaging
your vehicle. Eddie Motorsports is not responsible for any damage incurred during or
after installation of products.
1. Eddie Motorsports is not responsible for customer applications that are outside the normal and
intended use of our products including specific model and year applications.
2. Eddie Motorsports designs hood hinges off original OEM applications. Due to the vast array of
manufacturers for aftermarket parts, it is possible that you may have to open up your bolt holes in the
sheet metal to accommodate the new hinge application.
3. A common problem occurs with hinge installation when the mounting surface on the inner fender is
bent or out of alignment (pulled out or pushed in at one or all mounting holes.) If this is the case, the
mounting holes will not line up correctly with the hinge. To correct this, double check your firewall
mounting positions by holding a straight edge against the mounting holes. If there is a gap between
the straight edge and the sheet metal, the mounting surface is bent or out of alignment.
4. Some applications are not designed to work with your factory inner fenders. Please check to see if
your vehicle falls under this category before installing hinges. Eddie Motorsports is not responsible
for damage to inner fenders on these applications.
5. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DISASSEMBLE THESE HINGES. Doing so will void
your warranty. You may not return hinges that have been disassembled for any reason.
