Title: HOOD PIN BRACKETS
Post by: Road Reptile on December 12, 2022, 01:14:37 PM
Hi "68 fans,
I would like to get a picture of a hood pin bracket that mounts on the radiator support.. The brackets that came with the car had the rivets ground out and the wire bails were missing.
Managed to get bracket and bails and now need to rivet them together--at this point a picture of the under side would be very helpful...Thanks in advance.
R.R.

Top view of mine which are mounted.  Shot of bottom not happening with my camera; no room.  Maybe someone else can.

I recall we sourced the hard steel rivets from aircraft supplier.  Pretty tense swedging them on.  Plenty of opportunity for error.

I did my best to take pictures from underneath.  Hope it helps.
