The mounts are designed by HiLift for mounting their jacks to any available part of a vehicle. I chose the hood for a couple of reasons: Firstly, I'd seen it on a Jeep CJ7, and thought it looked good.. Secondly, when I had been in deep mud where I might need to take it off to use it as a winch, I've generally been up to my bumpers in it.. so this made a lot of sense.. anyway, here we go.
1: See where you're going to mount it.. use pencil to mark it, as you might need to change the holes as you don't want the backplates underneath to be below the support beams on the underside of the hood cover.
1a. Make sure if you lift the bonnet, the jack is just far enough from the windscreen that it has a few inches of clearance when raised all the way.
2. Remove the oil splatter canvas.. it has little twist knobs.
3. Drill the appropriate holes through the bonnet and attach washers and nuts below.
4. Grind off the excess length.
5. Replace oil cloth to the bottom of the bonnet.
6. and you're done.
