Kenworth T800 Repair Kit for Hood Support Cable Mount

Polyvance's Kenworth T800 hood support cable mount repair kit allows the user to repair the broken, cable mounts on Kenworth T800 Hoods. These hood support cable mounts seem to break easily. Rather than spending thousands on a new hood, Polyvance created the Kenworth T800 Hood Support Cable Mount Repair Kit which repairs and reinforces the broken hood support cable mounts. The cast aluminum cable mounts are screwed and bonded into place with the included PlastiFix high performance methacrylate adhesive.

Benefits

Save thousands over the cost of a new hood.
Repairing the hood is faster than replacing the hood.
With the Kenworth hood repair kit, there is no need to paint the hood. Replacing the hood requires you to paint the hood to match.
Stronger than the original hood support cable mounts. Load is spread out over a much larger area.
Usually faster delivery times. Definitely cheaper shipping cost.
Better design. If you replace the hood, you are putting on a new hood with the same poorly-designed hood support cable mounts that will probably break again. The Kenworth hood repair kit is a better design as it converts the point load to a large-area load.
This kit will get your truck back on the road quickly so you can continue making money. Every day that your truck is not on the road, you are losing money. Stop losing money. Repair your hood this today and continue making money tomorrow.

Instructions (Click or tap to expand)

Step 1

Clean the aluminum casting to remove any production oil residue using 1001-4 EcoPrep plastic cleaner.

Step 2

Clean the damaged area of the hood with 1001-4 EcoPrep plastic cleaner. Dry completely.

Step 3

Place the casting over damaged area. If the casting doesn’t fit, grind or sand the interference areas of the hood with a Roloc™ disk or a die grinder.

Step 4

Once enough material is removed to roughly fit the casting, trace the outline of the casting using a permanent market.

Step 5

Using the outline as a guide, sand the hood until unoxidized raw plastic is exposed. Hand sand inside the pocket with 60 grit or coarser sandpaper.

Step 6

Sand the mating surface of casting with a 24 to 50 grit to expose fresh aluminum.

Step 7

Test-fit the casting and grind away any material on the casting or hood to make the two fit. Gaps up to 1/16" are acceptable and even slightly larger gaps can be filled with adhesive.

Step 8

With the casting held in place, mark the screw hole locations with a permanent marker.

Step 9

Drill the 4 marked places with a 5/32" drill bit. Do not drill through both layers of plastic to the outside of the hood.

Step 10

Blow all dust from the sanded surfaces.

Step 11

Apply about 1/3 of a cartridge of 2510 PlastiFix adhesive to the aluminum casting.

Step 12

Apply approximately 1/3 of a cartridge of 2510 PlastiFix adhesive to the surface of the hood.

Step 13

Press the casting in place.

Step 14

Install the (4) #X screws into the hood. Tighten them evenly until the gaps around the casting are equal.

Step 15

Smooth out the adhesive with a gloved finger, forcing excess adhesive into any gaps between the hood and the casting.

Wait 24 hrs for full cure before attaching the cable and putting the repair into service.

Actual cure times will vary with temperature.

NOTE: The threads in the eye-bolt mounting hole are 3/8 x 16 tpi. The eye-bolt should be installed with blue thread-locker to prevent corrosion and a nut should be installed on the backside to prevent the eye from loosening. (Eye bolt not included)
