hood hinge
« on: April 11, 2011, 10:58:29 pm »
I am building for uslmra.

the rules say my hood has to hinge or I need a hole to access the spark plug wire.

if I make it hinge forward the grill will hit my tie rod and limit how far it can go. wont give me much room at all. If I make it hinge backward it will hit my steering wheel.

my question is can I make just my front grill hinge back up over the hood? the spark plug would be right there for access

are you talking about the imow class? I believe that would be the only class this would be needed for to check rpms.

Anything that allows quick acces to plug for checking rpm will be acceptable
