I'm using the other style - PART #: 22250 and I'm very happy with it

Re: hood support I also use the other hood support kit on all 3 of my cars.

Re: hood support They all seem to work about the same. Best thing about them is you can work on the engine with both hoods up at the same time. You will love the difference if you don't already have them.

Re: hood support I don't care for the 22270 type support. However I use the solid rod type 22271 on my 29 Roadster, 29 Tudor, and on a 28 Phaeton. I am very please with this type support. At least the 28/29 original radiators had a hood support on them. I question why more people do not use some type of hood support. It is beyond me why people will pay so much for a paint job and then fold their hood back on the other side so they can scratch or chip the paint.

Re: hood support I probably jumped the gun and purchased 22270, had it shipped from Brattons to Canada . I can't seem to find a picture of one installed.
|
Re: hood support Well my fellow Canadian, don't worry! That hood support will work just fine.
If it wasn't a good one, Bratton's wouldn't sell it. :). Jeff |
Re: hood support I have the 22250 type hood support on my coupe. There is a strange magnetic attraction between the hood support and my bald head. Any time I am within three feet of my car with hood up I have this urge to run over to the car and cram my head against the end of the hood support. The 22270 may not have this feature.

Re: hood support Is your upper rad tank missing the hood tabs?
|
Re: hood support yes, missing tabs on radiator . could have sworn they were there before rad was recored. were they actually soldered to tank?
|
Re: hood support I also have the 22250, the stainles one with the two sets of arms, and i love it. Both my original and my Bergs radiators have the tabs, but i never felt i could trust them.

Hi Guys,
I used a plastic covered coat hanger and bent a few S type hooks to keep the hood up. I have 2 in the shop and 2 under the seat |
Re: hood support Thanks Floats, I'm gonna try that, now all I have to do is find the plastic covered coat hangers.
|
Re: hood support I am easily confused. I would like to see a picture of that coat hanger support on the car and holding the hood. I am not sure where you hang it. I am not to bright sometimes.
|
Re: hood support I think what he shows at the top goes under the handle on the outside and the bottom hock goes over the support rod.
|
Re: hood support Yep, Curtis you are correct.
Open the hood and hook the small hook through the handle, open the hood some more and hook the larger hook over the radiator support rod. Eazy peasy. I’ll post a pic if you like. Chris |

Small hook outside,
Large hook inside, Lower the hood and violá. If you cant find the old fashioned plastic covered coat hanger, use a piece of wire covered with shrink sleeving. Chris Cape Town |
Re: hood support OK, now I get it. I am going to make a couple of them. Thanks for the clarification !
|
Re: hood support ����
I made a few for my Chevy as well. |
