Dumb question about hood...

[MGM GT]

Do you have pics of the underside of the hood without the liner? I have the same stain problem and was considering repainting or removing the liner.

I dont have a pic handy but it just looks like dimpled metal under the liner... its fully painted so nothing to worry about.

They do clean up fairly well if you take it off and hose it down.

Notice that the insulation is held on by plastic screws. If a fire starts the plastic screws melt, the insulation drops and helps to snuff out the fire.

I had this exact thing happen with a field car I had. Cracked fuel line at the carb pouring gas all over the engine compartment, engine up in flames. Then the pins melted and the blanked dropped....

Was the blanket able to snuff out the fire or at least give you time to get something else to put it out?

I'd rather the whole car blow up :-)

Then your garage will blow up with it.

I wish I could park in the garage. I park far from th house or anything for tha matter.

You need to build a bigger garage then. I have a 2 car garage and wish it was twice the size. I have the room but not the money though.

I have just removed my hood liner as it looks like the OP's. Here are some pictures of the naked hood.







Those that have removed theirs...have you noticed any ill effects to the paint? My assumption is that if the rubber hood vent 'liners' have not melted then it seems unlikely that it would damage the paint. I'd like to be proven wrong sooner rather than later though, if it's going to happen!

Does the Rotofab seal correctly with the liner removed?

Edit: just realized this is a very old thread, lol!
