M8 hood repair

[Bently]

Hey guys, A couple years ago I saw a sheet metal repair for the nose of an M8 hood. Does anyone know where I can find one? Seems like a member was making them.

Thanks

I made one last year and its not to difficult. I used 1/8 thick alum plate, cut your shape with a plasma cutter or sawzall or whatever you have to cut alum with, belt sand the edges smooth, drill your holes in the proper location and bend the piece to fit the curve of the hood. The piece I made was about 3" X 8" for the very nose of the hood over the front two hood vents, I drilled a pattern of holes to still let air through those vents. I also cut some alum straps about 1" wide X 4" long and riveted them to the hood right above were the hinge pins go through the hood, this area was cracking on my hood. I would recomend using aluminium rivets as stainless rivets are a mother to work with.
