Review on Mr Gasket 1017 Hood Torsion by Ryan Bennett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Worthless. Not worth a fraction of the cost

pins too short for my car (Mustang 2006). Do not confuse themes so that they can still be used). I then had to buy connector grommets and regular screws to add the length needed to get through the hood from the radiator mount. Torsion clamps suck too. They rusted constantly leaving rust/surface marks on the skid plates. Although they opened/closed fairly easily. Self-tapping screws that should be used to attach the fenders are complete nonsense. 4 heads out of 8 broke off trying to fit them into the hood. I took the time to pre-drill pilot holes for each screw to reduce the force when driving short screws by hand, but they still broke off with very little force. This meant I had to drill 8 more holes in the hood, fill and paint the original 8 pilot holes and buy new bolts. Overall I was very disappointed with this set. I was hoping for something so simple that it would be very hard to screw up, but I learned this lesson the hard way. My Opinion: It's better to spend a little more and get a high-quality set that doesn't have to be reworked and constantly cleaned.
