Hi To 1968 owners.
Im looking for the correct way to install the bracket and spring for the Dzus hood lock. It fits directly to the radiator support, and my guess would be a simple nut/bolt maybe flanged type?? Amazing what gets lost or vanishes when a car is disassembled for repaint. The part number for this is CMMA 16943 A IF that is accurate. Any pictures
Would help out as well. Thanks in advance for the help.

The 2 bolts that attach those to the rad support were usually the same used on the grille, hex cap bolt, disc washer and tapered end to thread into the hole.

Available from AMK.
If you want to be exact/original, look at the bolts that attach the grill mesh and match those. There were two head markings used:  SEMS (tend to be earlier) which transition to what can be described as kind of a NY Yankees symbol (common on KRs).   

These bolts could be referred to as "AO Smith installed bolts" because they attached Shelby parts installed by AO Smith, not at the Metuchen plant.

Can provide photo tomorrow if needed.
