Max Wedge Scoop

[300]

Hello, Got a fiberglass bolt on scoop, what to mount it to a steel 65 Satellite hood, Anybody got pictures of hole you cut in hood and how you finished the underside nicely. Planning on just one hole, and it would be though the centre brace. Thanks in advance

Heres the bottom side of one I just finished up. I dont have any pics of the top yet. This car will just have the std 14" air cleaner.
In the future if it is changed to a crossram I'll make a flate "air pan" that fits to the bottom of the hood and openings for the carbs like the factory did. This came out pretty good though.

I'm starting mine soon ......was wondering if your using nuts /bolts with washers or some kind of larger plates in place of washers to secure it

Top pic of the one above.

For the bolts I use body hardware I get at the local body shop. Napa also sells small bags or misc. boxes of similar things. I think Balkamp is one of the names and of course Gardner-Westcott.

I used a small number 10 bolt and speed nut assembly. I like them because the head on the bolt is very small but they use a big thick washer and look like something the factory would use rather than a hardware bolt and often thin body washer.
