PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SVE Hood Struts
If you're tired of the annoying factory hood prop rod getting in the way while you work on your engine, then it's time to replace it with our SVE hood struts! These high quality hood lift supports are installed easily in under 20 minutes thanks to the no drill design! The hood struts re-use the existing factory hardware so there's no trips to the hardware store necessary. The heavy duty brackets included in the kit are painted black to match the hood struts for a great look under the hood of your 1979-1993 Mustang!

Tools needed
- 8mm Socket
- Flathead Screwdriver
Step 1:
Pop the hood and secure it via the prop rod. Then loosen and remove the rear fender bolt with an 8mm socket.
Step 2:
Position the lower bracket marked “RH” into place. This should sit parallel with the fender then tighten the previously removed hardware.
Step 3:
Remove the upper hood hinge bolt. Position the upper bracket marked “RH” into place. This will sit in between the recessed area in the hinge.
Step 4:
If necessary, trim the hood insulator to allow room for the upper bracket to sit even. Tighten the previously removed bolt and then do the same for the other side.
Step 5:
If necessary, trim the hood insulator to allow room for the upper bracket to sit even. Tighten the previously removed bolt and then do the same for the other side.
All finished! Should take about 20 minutes to install!
