Default Re: what tool do I need to install hood corners

Kim,
I just did this two nights ago one a coupe I’m working in for someone. Unfortunately the hood was on so I had to do it the hardway as the hood side panels wouldn’t come off easy.

I use a brake rivit tool in the bench vise and yes, it is a two person job, one holds the hood while he other puts the rivit and corners in tact.

Doing it with the sides on is much more difficult but it can be done. You just have to hold it all together and try to mushroom the rivet with some tactful light raps .

The brake rivet tool the suppliers sell will get the job done.
