Deck lid stand offs
Dannyboy - January 30th, 2004 at 04:44 PM

Has anyone managed to fit them on a 67 deluxe that has the overider style bumpers bar. Like an idiot i didn't check before buying them , went to the time and trouble of fitting them with the bumper off. The decklid wouldn't open as it caught on the overiders and bar. I'm pretty sure i fitted them correctly but maybe not! Can it be done , i used an empi ( not impressed) product bought mail order from US.

No, unfortunately it can't be done. The only thing you can do is make and install longer bumper bar brackets

Should have bought Australian HOODJAX, then you could have opened the engine lid ! You just remove the pins through the opening at the top and take the lid off if you need to work on your motor.:thumb

I have Empi ones on my bug and i can open it no dramas, it hits because my bracket on the lid has a stress crack that is pretty bif but it still clears
