Kentrol Stainless Steel Hood Kit


Kentrol first introduced the concept of making stainless steel accessories specifically for Jeeps in 1980.  They make these parts from something called t – 30 stainless steel and because of this, they set the standard for the entire industry.  This particular sort of stainless steel is what is known as a virgin metal.  This stainless steel will not rust and it is not magnetic.  It also has the ability to be polished to a mirror finish.  Each one of these stainless steel parts made by Kentrol is inspected from top to bottom before it leaves the facilities at Kentrol.  With this stringent attention to detail, you can trust that your Kentrol products will be only of the highest quality.

The more you deal with stainless steel parts, the quicker you will find out the truth of them…they are not all created with the same quality.  The stainless steel products made by Kentrol start with either tubing or sheets of stainless steel that is either 304 or 410 mirror finish.  This is a special type of stainless steel that is not susceptible to rust. 

 

Kentrol then uses their drawings and tools that are all proprietary as they have been made by Kentrol engineers to make their parts and accessories.  These parts and accessories then get stamped and then they are machined, drilled and or welded before finally getting polished.  All of this is done to ensure that both the finish and the fit are the best possible.  You will notice that the hood vents as well as the hinges that Kentrol makes are just a tad large.  This is done on purpose to make sure that any paint seams or even any body primer that could have been seen is hidden. 

 

When you put the materials used by Kentrol side by side with those used by the competition you will notice that Kentrol’s materials are thicker.  Another thing that you might notice that sets Kentrol parts and accessories apart is that they are always packaged with all of the hardware that you will need to install them.  All of this hardware is also stainless steel.  With any of the great Kentrol parts and accessories such as the stainless steel hood kit, you get quality as well as innovation that is and has to be consistent to bring the best parts and accessories made from stainless steel for Jeeps.

 

Parts that are Included

 

When you purchase this stainless steel hood kit you will get the hinges for the hood as well as the hood vent and the footman loop as well as the tie down kits.  As usual, Kentrol includes everything that you will need to install the kit.

Kentrol Windshield Hinge Set


Kentrol makes parts and accessories from stainless steel.  So do a great many other manufacturers of parts and accessories.  That being said, why should you choose a windshield hinge set made by Kentrol as opposed to one made by the other guys?  The answer is simple.  It is the stainless steel. 

Not catching on yet?  Ok, here is the explanation.  The stainless steel that is used to make the windshield hinge sets (and every other stainless steel Kentrol product) is what is known as a virgin metal.  This particular type of stainless steel is not susceptible to rust.  It is grade 304 surgical stainless steel and it also happens to be simple to take care of.  Whenever your Kentrol windshield hinge set gets to where it is looking a bit rough, simply wax it. 

Additionally, these windshield hinge sets come to you complete with all of the hardware that you will need to properly and safely install them…and the installation hardware is also made from stainless steel.
