Tech Tips


  • Centering bolts are used to mount the hood hinge and hood lock. The hood and hood lock cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute standard bolts (with washers) for the centering bolts when making adjustments.

  • For bolts without torque specifications, check the standard bolt chart Click here.
