Hood Hinges

[rsev216]

Has anyone tried the Ring Bros hood hinges on a 65? Does the hood sit down flush with the cowl and fenders?

never used them. i thought about it once, until a nearly choked when reading the price of those things($700 for the set)

The way their hinge is designed you have adjustable heim joints to line up the hood to the cowl and fenders along with moving the hinge on the fender apron.

Hi,
As was mentioned, unless you are looking for the expensive "bling", then buy a set of standard HD Dynacorn hinges sold through CJs. I did this last summer and it corrected all of my hood/body fitment issues. I think they were just shy of $90/pr.

They can keep them.

Speaking of hood hinges though, whats different about those heavy duty Dynacorn ones? Are they really that much better than the regular reproduction ones?

Hi, ...Happy new Year!
Yes, they may be "spendy" to some wallets, but, they solved my issues. ...and yes, they are better made than my 49 year old originals.

I just had mine show up yesterday.. The HD Dynacorn hinges are about 2-3 times thicker than the stock hinges.. Yes, they are that much thicker!

I had a whole bunch of dynacorn stuff show up, very impressed with the quality of the stampings. that said, I haven't tried to fit anything yet, but can't wait to start working on it

dynacorn makes the best pieces i have ever used. a lot of the reproduction parts
would probably fit a volks wagen beter than a mustang.

I may have to order a set of these.

I bought a set of these dynacorn hinges and i´m very pleased. They are indeed so much thicker.
And i am certain that the hood opens wider than with my old ones. All my alignment problems
are gone and the hood sit fantastic.
Here are two pics to compare original vs. mustangs unlimited vs. dynacorn hood hinges...
I select the second pic extra big, so you can better compare between the dynacon and a original hinge..
