Default Hillco Engine Appearance Kits

Hey,

For you guys that ordered the engine kits, particularly for the Camaro,
were you missing any pieces? Specifically are there supposed to be
chrome AN washers for the bumper support? Mine only had the pushpins
and the red appearance washers. Just looks like it should have the chrome washer also.

Also, I seem to be missing quite a few pieces for the hood kit. Again, specifically are there supposed to be pieces for where the hoods struts, the pnuematic(sp?) ,or whatever, struts attach to the hood? Does anyone know the size of those bolts so I can let Hillco know exactly what I need?

Thanks
Bryan

There is no AN washers for the support piece. The pushpins take up any room that a washers would fit in.

Yes there should be something for the hood struts. But there is a separate kit for the struts. If all you got was the hinge kit that might be why you don't have any. I've heard a few people have also used the strut peices for the shock tower braces and then don't have enough pieces. Or they might have made a mistake in packageing them.

I got my kit last week and have yet to install it. I have looked through everything, and some baggies look like stuff is missing, but I really wont know for sure till I install them.
