Late 80's Hoods Question

Recommended Posts

Michael Bullington

I just purchased some head light bezels for my 310-8 and noticed they do not fit.....after comparing the hood to my 312-8 I noticed the section between the headlights is made different....Did wheel horse produce two hood styles for these models?

 

thanks

Should fit, there are right and lefts, and lots of the hoods get bent right between the lights.

Hmmm....I thought all bezels were the same from the 1984 Workhorse series right up to the last models to roll off the line. I have to think your hood has been damaged and straightened out some...but not correctly??

I'm proud to say not too many have been added here.  A 1054 and a 310-8 is probably about it in the last 2 years or so.  I'm down to a fairly reasonable 11 these days!

It's definitely bent out. The area between the headlighte should be flat. Be gentle and that looks like it will straighten out just fine. Mine was worse than that but in the opposite direction. Looks great now.

A good way to straighten it is to sandwich it between two boards and use a c-clamp. That keeps even pressure on it.
