I've had the same problem with all my hoods. I know it's not the prettiest fix, but this is what I do. It's the quickest and easiest way. I drill a hole using the pivot bracket as a guid through the hood. I than use stainless steel screws through the hood to the bracket. Screw them tight with lock washers and never have a problem. The only thing that shows on the hood is the shining heads of the screws. Not a big deal.

Thanks for the info!

My left side broke after the right side had been fix. Where can I get the bolts and rivet or do you have a part number for that kit?

@johnkeith1599 3 года назад

Ever Amador. Sorry for the delayed response. Please feel free to send any questions to contact@jmrbodyworks.com as that email is monitored everyday. We used a M8x1.25 AR Series Threaded Insert with matching M8x1.25 bolts that are approximately 1.5 inches in length. Make sure you use coated bolts and inserts as the brackets are made from aluminum and you don't want to get cross contamination. Hope this was helpful.

It's a damn shame that U.S trucking mfgs overall are not only unwilling to work with an individual, but are building mass produced cheap crap/parts themselves; and charging obnoxious prices. Americans should not talk bad about Chinese products and not mention our own...... But JM&R can get it done!

In the process of prepping the hood to finish the job myself just don’t know what type of “rivit kit” or metal thread inserts to use ? What should I get ?

@johnkeith1599 4 месяца назад

You'll need to use a M8x1.0 steel threaded insert and bolts that match. They can be found at most hardware stores or specialty fastener stores.

@ranger83178 4 месяца назад

@@johnkeith1599 can you please copy and paste a link of an example there are so many different kinds of inserts ? They really didn’t show a good example of what they used in the video so it’s hard for me to match them up . I know he said the “rivet kit they use on the 2015 cascadias” but I can’t really find a “kit” that they use !

@cristobalfigueroa5835 2 года назад

Can you please tell me what kind of did you use?

@johnkeith1599 2 года назад

Did you mean Glue? If so, it was 3M IRSA glue. Stands for "impact resistant structural adhesive". You can buy it at any automotive paint supply company and will need an applicator gun as well.

@antoniohardy7416 Год назад

Do you have to wait a set time after applying the adhesive before re-installing brackets?

@izzly42 3 года назад

Where’s the signature double tap of the horn at the end?! 🤔

@jmrbodyworks2593 3 года назад

Some major fleets ask that we do not show their logos, sadly we could not get a double tap honk

@user-ws7fp1zj1n 4 месяца назад

I did mine yesterday..everything went perfectly, but the hood doesn’t close properly on one side any advice for me please

@johnkeith1599 4 месяца назад

You likely have a bent pivot bar, or it may just need to be adjusted. Loosen the 2 nuts in the center of the pivot bar bracket and shut the hood. If it's an alignment issue, then it should shift into place and then tighten those nuts back down.

@abukarsaid813 3 года назад

How much would it cost me for body shop to do it and also do I need to do it both side please respond thanks

@johnkeith1599 3 года назад

The price will vary depending on if the bracket broke or just came unglued. Expect a cost around $750 - $1000 if broken and I would always recommend fixing both sides.

@abukarsaid813 3 года назад

When you say 750 or $1000 are you talking about one side or both sides please respond appreciate it

@johnkeith1599 3 года назад

@@abukarsaid813 That would cover both sides.

I'm looking for that insert you used for the bolt threads. Your the only one mentioning it and it seems practical. Is that something I can get from the dealer ? Thanks!

@johnkeith1599 Год назад

The dealer won't sell them. You buy online or at a grainger store.

@Tyroneshoelaces242 9 месяцев назад

When you updated the brackets to the bolt kit, did you wait 24 hrs before reinstalling the hood or were the bolts strong enough to hold everything in place while the adhesive cured?

@johnkeith1599 9 месяцев назад

We usually give about 4 hours for the glue to set up. The bolts are strong enough to hold them in place while you install the hood but don't put it on the road till the glue cures.

Too late for me I couldn’t find anyone willing to fix it so I wound up buying a new hood.

@johnkeith1599 Год назад

How unfortunate. I was able to walk a guy thru fixing it himself in California when he wasn't able to find someone. Next time call me first. Advice is always free. Thanks for watching!
