uh.. Maybe... I know I assembled them wrong more than 10x LOL
Edit:
Ok I see, easy fix. I swapped them, it didn't really change functionality since the holes line up either way

It's not a 70's Buick hood lol. How much could a fiberglass hood possibly weigh?
Mild steel usually has about .4% carbon and cannot be hardened. I've tried against what heat treatment books say but they are defiantly right.

I didn't think of that until I made them but since it's low carbon I'm not sure how much they could be hardened anyway by quenching
Maybe it would be worth it to "treat" certain spots?

Did you have the steel heat-treated to stiffen them up?

Those will look incredible powder coated ! you may want to include a delrin washer between the posts to allow for the powder coat thickness and the potential to bind etc.
great work, i am going to have to try this as well...

Heck yeah! That's a lot of work with a grinder but you did a excellent job.

Thanks! Yea pretty smooth as long as all the bends are correct but right now the bolts come undone fast so I'll see when I get the binding posts that I wanted to try

Nice job Tallon! Throw some paint on and you should be good. Do they have smooth action / movement?

If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

Guess I'll post mine
Not the greatest looking, I have to cut everything with a grinder but they do work perfectly though!
the bolts are temporary I'm waiting for the pins to come
I am going to powder coat the parts
