hood insert hardware
There are 4 flared 'hollow' spacers with thread and a small nut on the inside
Include a pic of the old broken bits.
Thanks

Re: hood insert hardware
I'm looking at those as well. If I remember, you'll need four of them. What about the other fasteners and how many? I looked at R/T to try and find the others but didnt see them.72RoadRunnerGTX wrote:R/T Specialties, Bell nuts.

Re: hood insert hardware
Looks like six of these 10-24 captured washer nuts as well. Looks like a pretty close reproduction.

Re: hood insert hardware
Just ordered the bell nuts and the others. Tom also has the screws for the rear tail lights. Just FYI

Re: hood insert hardware
Recieved the bell nuts and the other nuts for the call outs from R/T yesturday. Also ordered the correct screws for the tail light lenses from them as well. WOW.

Re: hood insert hardware
RR6PAK, did your taillight screws fit your lenses good and snug? I ordered mine from R/T specialties as well and mine were too long. I also ordered all new bell nuts for my hood inserts and they were too thick to start on my original studs.

Re: hood insert hardware
I didn't know there was an issue with the bell nuts or the tail light screws. It will be a while till I know the fit of them since the car is all stripped and at the body shop. I can take one of the new bell nuts and compare with to one of the old ones. Sorry, that's the best I know right now. Hope there isn't an issue because this will be another issue of parts not fitting rightKentuckyBlueBird wrote:RR6PAK, did your taillight screws fit your lenses good and snug?

Re: hood insert hardware
Sad thing is I talked Tom into making the tail light screws and even gave him an original. How the repops came out too long I have no idea. At least the thread pitch is correct. You can cut them off, tap them, and they're fine.KentuckyBlueBird wrote:RR6PAK, did your taillight screws fit your lenses good and snug?

If that's the case Eric, I'll have to do that.Eric wrote:Sad thing is I talked Tom into making the tail light screws and even gave him an original. How the repops came out too long I have no idea.

FYI, the originals looked like this. (on the left)72RoadRunnerGTX wrote:R/T Specialties, Bell nuts.

On the right is what I machined out of aluminum. The original ones would rust as they trapped any water that came down through the holes. The ones I made let the water run throught.
