KW T800 Hood Repair Kit – Repair your broken out hood pockets instead of buying a new hood.

The damage to KW T800 Metton hood pockets is very common. So common, in fact, that KW has a technical service bulletin (TSB) that addresses the issue of the damaged T800 hood guides. Their solution? Replace the hood! An OEM KW T800 hood will set you back thousands. Even an aftermarket fiberglass KW T800 hood costs thousands. Polyvance has a much more economical solution to repair the damaged KW T800 hood pockets. Polyvance’s “KW T800 Hood Repair Kit” will allow you to repair the damaged horseshoe-shaped hood pockets on your KW T800 for a fraction of the cost of replacing your damaged KW T800 hood.

Easy to install and MUCH easier than replacing the hood:

Step 1

Clean both pockets and the surrounding area where the plate will be bonded in the hood with Polyvance’s 1001-4 EcoPrep Plastic Cleaner.

Step 2

Hand sand the inside of the pockets with 60 to 80 grit sandpaper to roughen the surface and remove ALL paint.

Step 3

Grind the flat area where the plates will be bonded with a 50 grit Roloc disk, then blow away the dust.

Step 4

Clean the outside of the reinforcing plugs with Polyvance’s 1001-4 EcoPrep Plastic Cleaner to remove any oils and dust that could affect adhesion.

Step 5

Thoroughly grind the outside surface of the plug with a 50 grit Roloc disk to make the aluminum receptive to PlastiFix adhesive.

Step 6

Grind the paint off of one side of the bearing plate to improve adhesion. Blow the dust away. Do NOT clean with EcoPrep.

Step 7

Drill a 1/8″ pilot hole into the plastic using the middle plug hole as a guide. Use the correct DRVR or PASS plug. They are different!

Step 8

Generously coat the plug and socket with enough PlastiFix adhesive to fill any gaps between the plug and the pocket.

Step 9

Spread the adhesive evenly over the plug and inside the socket. Working time is about 15 minutes at room temperature.

Step 10

Install the plug & use an included #10 wood screw to secure the plug in position. Wipe up excess adhesive with a gloved finger or spreader.

Step 11

Using two of the included 5/16″ x 2″ bolts as a guide for the bearing plate, drill the first 3/16″ rivet hole into the hood. Note: The plates are identical.

Step 12

With a rivet temporarily placed in the first hole as a guide, drill the remaining rivet holes. Remove the plate, bolts, and rivet.

Step 13

Fill the broken-out area on the side of the plug with adhesive, then coat the sanded side of the bearing plate with adhesive.

Step 14

While pushing firmly down on the bearing plate, rivet the plate into place using four 3/16” rivets, one in each corner.

Step 15

Fill the gap between the plate and the plug completely with PlastiFix. Clean up excess with a gloved finger or body spreader. Let cure for 2 to 4 hours minimum at 70°F (21°C).

Step 16

Re-drill the bolt holes with a 5/16″ drill bit.

Get back on the road quickly instead of waiting on parts.
