Hood pins!

haha, good point. Except I think Braille uses real carbon?

I could NOT get those pins to fit until I bent the brackets about 10 degrees. I think my hood must have a little more angle than yours.

I may have forgotten to mention, but it is in the instructions, you notch out between the side and bottom hole to get the pin to line up.

Hard to see in this image, but the small piece of plastic that separates the front side and the bottom hole has been removed, to allow the pin to enter strait.

Take one apart. We had the "6lb" carbon unit in a past project car, the "carbon" case added 1lb to the 6lb battery. Lots of plastic and clear coat hiding the standard Braille case.

There are not to many parts out there that I would consider real carbon... Almost all of it is one tiny layer over a fiberglass or plastic base. The real stuff is so expensive.
