thank you verry much.
yah, my scoop aint the prettiest either, has some defects. and a couple chips from pulling it from the molds. but I can fix them.
I only paid 150 for it, and got it off wal
mart.com (believe it or not).
bonus is it is all ready white. so I can mount it As is. and it will look like it has been there for a while LOL.
I was just going to cut open the hood same as your pic, and use it as a guide for placement. but was afraid it might be too far back.
thats the purpose for my contacting you, since I seen you have one all ready mounted. never hurts to ask. and doing so saves head aches. ;-)
now after seeing your pics, I'm thinking thats why it's designed that way LOL
I was thinking about Using 3 M molding tape under the edge to seal it. after I have dry fitted it, and I'm happy.
I'll make a paper template for mounting to mark out the bolt locations. then use it to drill out the holes.
I'll probably just use a 1/2 "-3/4" hole saw for access. where I drill through the bracing
then use a dremil die grinder or sanding wheel to smooth them out. it will still be clean that way.
my scoop also uses bolts that go into mounting holes. but I think I'll swap them over to studs.. what do you think about that idea?
