Wyatt and Frank - I agree with Frank's suggestion that the QL hood and the hood support are an easy retrofit to a 169. The only issue I see is replacing the decals, and the style of the hood support. The QL used 2 different hood supports. One had thin slotted rubber pieces that cushioned the hood when it was closed, and the later version used rubber blocks. The later version was much better since the rubber blocks virtually never wore out - but as such, I think they are NLA today. As for the decals, it's gonna look odd with QL decals on the hood only, and stripping and installing 169 decals begins to get a little costly. Overall I'd probably just look into getting the xx8/xx9 latches which are a real pain to use and really wear into the hood cross brace, and get in the way of the PTO engagement lever when unhooked. Sometimes they have to be "tweeked" (bent) to work best.
Just my 2 and 1/2 cents here.
