I am installing Hood pins on my 280 (in the steel hood) and was wondering how most people install the discs that reinforce the panel? I was considering sheet metal screws or rivets and was looking for some opinions.

Thanks

Most of the guys I know use a small bolt with some good sized flat washers on the bottom to keep it from tearing through the sheetmetal of the hood. Of course, it depends on where you mount it as well. You could use some fairly large rivets, with large flat washers on the bottom as well.

Personally, I'd go with bolts, just in case they loosen over time or you need to take them off and re-use them, it would make it a lot easier with bolts.
