Note: Only use the rivets supplied in the QuickLIFT system. Step 3 – Mark centerline of hood bracket location. A. Leave your hood closed. B. Using a piece of masking tape and a permanent marker, carefully measure from the hood’s corner (near hinge and windshield) and along the fender line. Wrap the end of the tape measure over the corner lip and place a mark on the hood masking tape at 14″ This mark will be used to align the centerline of the bracket’s ball-stud in the next step. Step 4 – Align bracket and mark lower hole for drilling. A. Align the center of the bracket with the mark you just made on the hood. You will need to view the hood directly from the side as shown in Figure 4A .
The bracket should sit on the flat area just inside the edge of the hood skin with the ball stud facing outward or away from vehicle. The back of the bracket should be up against the hood’s frame. B. Holding bracket in place, mark the center of the lower hole using a permanent felt tip marker. Be sure the bracket is straight and sitting flat against the hood’s frame. C. Set bracket aside.
Using a center punch and a hammer, tap the center of the mark you just made (this indention will help guide the drill bit and keep it from wandering). Verify the brackets placement using these photos and those in the following steps.
