1.1 Hood Mounting Methods & LocationsTable 1: Proposed Mounting Locations & Method for the Hood Panel Bonding to Adjacent Panels | Method | Validation/Rationale |
|---|
Headlights | Epoxy Adhesive | Bonding area calculations (Excel attached, below) | Windshield | Quarter-turn fasteners | Windshield must be removeable, quarter-turn fasteners will be used for windshield mounting to other panels | Bottom Panels | Epoxy Adhesive | Modify hood panel to have inward curve along the bottom edge to allow the panel to join with the bottom panel. |
