Then I use two pieces of brass 1/4" x 1" with three holes drilled in them, mount the two pieces to the front spring hanger and then use a 2-1/2" piece of brass rod to slide thru all three pieces. The bottom of the grille needs to be notched a bit as well.
Great work with the tilting Hood, how close are the guards to the air cleaners when you tilt it? have you lengthened the bonnet?

cheers
Paul
