My CarbonRevo Z27AG Goodies

The second hood out of three has arrived. One for a friend's Black Colt as seen here /rcolt-z27ag-carbon-hood-by-carbonrevo.html and one for my red colt and another for a white colt. The white Colt is in the process of being resurrected :)

Always a pleasure dealing with CarbonRevo. You can read more in the previous entry.


Q: I asked the question about an adjustable the hood striker / latch.  This would allow people to control the pitch of the bonnet. Mine hasn't lined up the best and I am planning to mod the latch. The U shaped hood striker bolt accompanied would aid adjustment.

A: Try not to do anything to the latch on the hood. Instead u can choose to adjust the lock on your car. U can make it lower. Its fast and safe. Coz if you touch the one on the hood, its gonna be alot dangerous. 1 reason why we are not using the adjustable lock is that there are case of other manufacturer hoods using this kind of lock and they gave way after some time. It has a bigger chance of flipping at high speeds.

- I do plan to remove the the whole lock latch assembly and add hood pins. But as a daily it isn't a good security item.

For the short term I modified the lock mechanism, oversized the holes to allow a 5mm height increase. I am still not happy and will be tweaking it further. Or just convert to hood pins lol

Looking at water sprays to suit the bonnet:

shaft diameter = 11.3mm we wants <8mm
clips = 14.6mm we wants <12mm
clip thickness = 6.6mm we wants <5mm

head is 23mm by 15m
