Turke, �

These are dimensions that were reported to be 3A sized hood blocks, by a fellow at the 2A page named Bluax.

draw a picture of a rectangle on your paper 4 5/8" L x 2" tall x 1" wide. �11/16" from the left is dead center for your first hole. �Continue on and again from the left side measure 3 5/16" for dead center of your second hole. �These are both 1/4" holes drilled completely thru the width of the block. �Now we will enlarge these holes to 5/8" to a depth of 1 1/4" otherwords, countersink. �When completed you will note that both holes are more toward one end of the block and are NOT evenly spaced from each end.

I actually modified mine a little. Mine are 1 1/8" wide and 2 1/4" tall. �Taller because I wanted a little more clearance for the windshield wiper arm and wider because I wanted them to look a bit more stout.

Hawk,
I really like that jeep.  If it every starts to misbehave, send it over, I've got a re-training program that really works!!  May take some time though, those old ones have some bad habits !!   ;D ;D ;D
Climbs trees, hides in the long grass, hangs out with wet dogs...

Gun,
I've seen your ride.  So, I would like to mention that I have a similar program offered here in Colorado. It too, is an extensive program requiring years to finish. (10+)   ;)  Funny...I haven't had a single client yet.
