will H2 hood handles fit on a H3 hood louver?

 

Nope, not without modification. They have a different angle cut into them. They will not mount flat to the plastic hood panel.

 

that is correct, i mounted the H2 hood handles on mine and had to heat the handles and bend them to the approximate angle. i then used a thick rubber gasket to fill any gap so they would mount flat. it worked out quite well. the only minor dislike is that the proportion of the hood handles to the hood is a little off.

 

@kauaineb, that is one sweet looking rig! Why did you choose to use the H2 handles? Price? Availability? @shaft333 same question.....

I did a search for H3 handles and found both black plastic and black powder coated billet......$60.00 - $200.00+

 

thanks man. ive been following your poser thread and you documented the changes nicely and it turned out very well. good job.
so i chose the H2 hood handles for 3 reasons, and in this order. first, they were OEM (im trying to stick with OEM mods or accessories), second, because of the look (as compared with aftermarket), and third, as luck would have it, because the price was way less. and if anything happens to them, replacements should not be hard to come by. if Shaft is interested on how i mounted it, i will explain.....

 

That looks sick man! Very nice alteration.

 

But the hood goes the other way :scratchhead:

 

@ Orale; thanks!
@ Man; yes the hood opens the other way. the handles are just for looks, for the purpose of emulating or paying homage to the H1....

 

and, if you thru bolt them it will keep the recalled hood louver from flying off without the dealer slathrering glue all over the hood.

 

thanks
