SpreadingLime Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hello all. I wanted to know if anyone has changed hoods on a RD690 from the newer square style to the classic R model hood style. I currently have a 1993 RD690 (White) and a 1990 RD690 (Blue). The 1990 is a parts truck. All the hood components are there. I have looked and it seems possible. Just curious if anyone had tried.

Vladislav Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 As said above. Also you may found difference in the front brackets of the chassis where hood hinges attach. Radiator, intercooler and A/C condencer were also different. I don't know is it possible to use them with early hood but difference is the fact. Probably (as long as I rememver) the very front crossbember the radiator fits on was also of another style.
