hood block holes

Bretto · Post by **Bretto** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:35 pm

Can someone get me a measurement of mounting holes center-center of the holes in the hood for the blocks? I bought some hood blocks and the holes aren't lining up, too far apart. And they are junk. Just want to make sure my hood holes are what they should be.
Thanks,
Brett

I don't have my hood with me, but my wood blocks (original I believe) measure 2.6 inches on the dot, center to center.

As measured from my orig junk hood..
12-15/16 hole C/L from hood center seam.
2-1/4 1st hole C/L from leading hood edge.
2-5/8 C/L spacing between holes.

Thanks guys, thats what mine measures also. Now I have deal with getting these back to the vendor. Almost not worth the $11 I spent on them. They look like MD Juan flavor. I don't know if they make hood blocks but they have that crappy red primer on them

I have never heard any complaints about Rod Nowlin's hood blocks.
