USE SHE-1301


One of our best-selling hinges ever, the H-1309 hinge was designed to fit the 1967, 1968, and 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. Due to Chevy’s various interchange options, our H-1309s also fit several other makes/models including 1965–1967 Chevelles, Monte Carlos, El Caminos, Impalas, 1966-1967 Novas* and even early model Holdens. Originally designed in 2007 and then improved in 2008 with 9 more inches of hood opening, our H-1309 hinge is our most versitally reliable hood hinge. As with all our products, the H-1309 were designed in our Scottsdale facility and then manufactured using only the best grades of aluminum, bearings and hardware. Each set is hand assembled in house after rigorous quality control checks. Pride and quality are important to Fesler and as a result we use 6061 aerospace grade billet aluminum for phenomenal strength and durability. Weather tight, dust resistant bearings and stainless steel button head hardware are used to guarantee accurate functionality in any climate. We also include proprietary reinforcement and safety elements to insure lifetime strength and durability The H-1309 hinge offers an affordable functioning option for the nation’s most popular muscle car. Until now, the only option for “custom” hood hinges was chromed versions of the factory original, that, while offering glitter and shine, compromised strength my actually weakening the spring. Our hinges offer more stability and support and are incredibly stronger than stock and/or chromed stock hinges. 44-year old, rusty steel hinge frames can now be replaced with distinctive aluminum assemblies and bulky outdated springs can be replaced with mechanically advanced gas charged carbon steel lift supports. The high grade gas lift supports provide maximum lift assist as well as corrosion resistance and are covered by a 2 year marine environment warranty. Each pair of lift supports are engineered to last up to 50,000 cycles. Each pair of hinges come standard with our black carbon lift supports but, polished stainless steel lift supports can be added for only $94.95. Please be aware that heavier (those with skinned hood, extra weight from body work, additional metal work like added hood scoops) may require a heavier lift support option to keep the hood from sagging during display. Be sure to choose your correct hood weight when ordering. Please understand that some hoods could be too heavy for our strongest lift support. Because we have researched and engineered our lift supports to contain the maximum amount of gas to operate at a safe level, we are unwilling to risk vehicle damage and/or human injury by simply making our struts stronger. Fesler takes safety very seriously and would never put your project or well-being in jeopardy just to sell you a product. While we are the only hood hinge manufacturer that offers 8 separate lift support pressures, it is entirely possible that we may not have a pressure that will SAFELY hold up your hood. The stylish H-1309 hinges are available in several finishes including natural, polished, brushed, clear anodized, black anodized, grey anodized, and even 24 karat gold plated. * 1966-1967 Chevrolet Novas will require minor inner fender modification to allow for hinge arm to lower properly. This usually consists of cutting a small oval shape out of the inner fender. Those vehicles with no inner fenders will not have any problems. ** Those vehicles with aftermarket front clips may require slight modifications in order for the hinges to mount properly. TCI, Heidts and Chassisworks chassis have been known to require minor modifications in order for the hinge to fit properly. ** Please be sure to read our Hinge Installation article for a better idea of how to properly align your hood hinges. Fesler hinges were made to fit EXACTLY like OE and do not require any modifications to install. If you feel your mounting locations are not tall enough or that new mounting holes are necessary there is most likely a problem with your aligning method. Please use our article as a troubleshooting guide before modifing the hinges. AVAILABILITY: Fesler tries to stock natural, polished & black finishes, however backorders can occur. If your order is critical, call to check stock before ordering. If you are ordering any of the Special Order Hood Hinges (Black Anodized, Gray Anodized, or Clear Anodized), shipping normally takes about 4 weeks.
