    Hey guys, went out on Sunday and somehow managed to break the front clip for my 95 FX1 that holds the hood down. Any idea where to go to get parts like this? I'm thinking of just getting something made, but keen to get thoughts. New to the whole relm of standup. Anyone else with an Fx1?

    The Black front latch on the Hood or the bit on the Pole Bracket? Rodgers Boat Shop might be able to order one in, I think its around $150.

    Dude Just use a meaty cable tie on the front around the two metal bars man it works way better then the crappy stock front latch anyway!
    Hope this helps..

    Not sure about the cable tie thing, sounds a bit suspect and bulky. Its the front black clip. I am pretty sure the one i have (that broke) is not stock but been retrofitted. I'll look into that boat shop, cheers. Jeremy

    thanks Thornton. If anyone has an old hood clip that looks like it could fit this, I'd love to get it off you. Let me know. Cheers

    Yeah its great to have mates that can do the engineering. I didn't have the first clue of how to make it. Thought it would be a pretty easy job, but took quite a while, thanks Matt.
