Cool, I wasn't trying to call you out, I was just generally curious and wanted to make sure you looked into it.
Also, I've seen you specifically say "turboII steel hoods" several times. most steel hoods on RX-7s are actually NA hoods. Most basier S4 NA models came with steel hoods and some S5s. Steel turboII hoods are actually very rare, most have aluminum hoods.

I will update my website to just say steel hood in general, thank you for letting me know I was only aware of the turbo steel hood and not the N/A version of it. I know you just want to make sure that us vendors are making stuff correctly for these cars.
Thanks, Ben

and wasn't trying to bash them, we just know FC owners are cheap since the resale value of the cars is in the toilet. i made a set for my car with steel brackets that i cut and rewelded at a different angle from some rear hatch struts from a different make of car. i just figured the brackets was where the majority of the cost was coming from.

The turbo cars from what I have seen are actual fetching more then a few years ago.
The FC is a very very capable car and is overall cheaper to modify then the FD and is cheaper to maintain because there are **** loads of them compared to the FD.
The cnc brackets are the most costly item in the kit, but the other parts are not cheap either. And yes I need to make money on them...lol. Its not personal just business.
Well what ever the hoods are as far as numbers, I only need to know if you have a steel or aluminum one. The CF hood uses the same shocks as the aluminum hood.

LOL yeah I did find the problem in my code. There was that extra link on the original test button and thats why all my buttons have it. I already fixed all the FD links, now I need to fix the FC and RX8 links. Just remember to refreash your page and delete your cookies. It works for safari, firefox and google chrome now.
I'll fix the FC and RX8 links tonight.

Thanks, Man.
OK so heres the dealio.
Time to admit something here. I have already pmd all 3 your guys and sent the missing bolts out to you.
Please take a look at my site and the other pictures for the FC hood dampers on this thread.
The ball end bolt on the cnc bracket stays there, it is also thread locked in.
The other two ball end threaded bolts will replace the bolts in your fender. It will be the bolt half way down the fender, you can also see it in the pictures.
The normal hex top bolt is the one that will replace the bolts in your hood and that will bolt the cnc bracket onto the normal hood hinge. As you can see there should be 4 of those, there are only 2 of those that I shipped. I just sent 4 new ones to each of you guys, so please use the new set of bolts.
Also the "RE" should be closer to the winshield. The bolck part goes towards tohe front of the car and is designed to clear that rubber bushing that is on the fender at the end of the weather stripping on your cowl panel.
Just make sure that are installed right, the hood will not close if they are installed wrong.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
