fixing rusted NRG Hood shocks
My NRG hood shock ends were rusting. The early versions I guess, had the ends were cheap and if nicked and over time would rust. So I went on McMaster's website and found me some new stainless ***** and glass-nylon ball sockets. Modified the existing brackets to make it all work.
rusty ball and ball socket (couldn't get it apart) with my new stainless ball
Modified stainless ***** with the rusty one
rusty locking pins
Brackets sanded down and holes enlarged to accept the new ball ends
Rustoleum painted satin white brackets
Bracket,socket, and ball at the hood hinge
socket at the fender
all together and working great and rust free
I was little concerned that the bulkier sockets would have some clearance issues but it looks to be all gravy.
