SR hood former

Post by JvanMaanen » Fri Nov 21, 2025 4:05 pm

I am missing the portion of the hood former on my SR that goes from the steering column across the top of hood then down the left side. I do have the small piece that goes from the steering column vertically down the right side. I haven't been able to find one so my question is if I fabricate one is the hood dimensionally the same on both ends so I can use the radiator as a pattern? The hood is flimsy enough that accurate measurements of it are difficult.

thanks Jim

I don't believe the radiator would be a good template for you. Do you have the hood? If so, I would use that as your template instead.
