jft69z Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Just now, Scott S. said: Should have a rubber cap as well ?? No, that would be for the front ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Look at the Factory Assembly manual, pages 11D -1, and 11D-3, it shows both sets. I think the front ones are for hood height adjustment, but the rear ones are supposed to stop the hood from going thru the windshield during a frontal collision, or at least help force it to buckle in the middle to protect the occupants. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 As Joe said, no the ones in the back are designed to prevent the hood from moving back into the windshield and interior of the car in case of a front end collision. If you look at where they are located and look at the hood and hood hinges you will see the function plan. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I never knew that. Good information. And it looks like it might have worked on this shell I bought. Jared if you need these let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
