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.
Stainless Steel Hood Kit by Kentrol
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.
