H3 Hummer H2 Hood Handle Installation Help

[ZoroTheGreat]

I just got a new set of H2 hood handles and was wondering if anyone's got some experience mounting them on an H3. I'm mostly wondering how to deal with the offsetted mounts.

IiRC someone modded it by filing it slightly until it followed the shape of the H3 louver.

I have them mounted on my hood, but it was done by the previous owner. They don't look like an exact fit, but I can help with any pics you would need of them if you want.

Either fabricate a spacer for the one side, or trim the other side down.

They add 10hp and shave 1/2 second off 1/4 mi times :giggle:

Add weight, less aerodynamics for our sports car/suv ... I hear you need them to open the hood? Do they come with an extra cup holder to help out with the 3 we have?

It actually help to secure the hood louver so it won't detach while driving.

Each to their own.

Ha!

back on topic... I'm thinking you need to use a washer/spacer/shim to correct the angle.

You could maybe use some plastic wedges used for framing (as in framing a house, not framing a picture). Lowes or Home Depot have some (http://www.lowes.com/pd/TimberWolf-Shim-Actual-1-5-in-x-7-9375-in/3377156) that you could use to make spacers from. Trim them to size and paint them and you should be all good.

Surprisingly it's true. Went to do my H3 hvac recall and they did replaced lover too. Apperantly someone had it fly off and hit a cop car on freeway.
