[First c10]

Hey guys a little update on the EMS hood hinges.
Well I had a problem since I was using a aftermarket cowl induction hood. EMS sent me 360# SS struts and I guess these are for a stock hood and the Chinese hood I got was lighter so it would not close properly. Jeff at EMS sent me 300# struts. At first it was fine but now won't hold the hood up all the way. well I decided to use the 300# struts. After I took the hood off to paint I noticed that the hinges rattled. The bolts holding the hinge together was awfully loose. I called EMS and they said that I need to check the bolts often and possible put lock tight on the bolts.....

For the cost of the hinges I am a little pisst that every time you open the hood it wants to loosen the bolts on the passenger side and every time you close the hood it want to loosen the driver side.

EMS should have set the pressure on the bearings and Locktite them before shipment!!!
