CVF Racing billet hood hinges replace the factory hood hinges on the 1971 to 1976 Chevrolet Caprice. Each hinge body and arm is CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, and a gas strut and sealed bearings are built into the assembly. CVF's patented 6-axis adjustment (U.S. Patent No. 11,002,047) is part of the hinge itself, so hood gaps can be set while the hood stays bolted in place.
This listing is the Black Diamond finish. The hinges are sold as a pair and offered in Steel Hood and Fiberglass Hood versions, and CVF backs them with a limited lifetime warranty.
