Re: Hood pistons instead of hinges ?
You are still going to have to have some sort of hinge and creating one that will pull the hood both down and back might be a real challenge.
I had a pretty big and ugly brake booster on my 48 for a few years and didn't have any trouble with hood hinge clearance. I'd wonder if you have the setup mounted too far to the left and too high or ?
