68 Shelby hood tie downs
« on: April 10, 2012, 07:20:37 AM »
I am putting my 68 GT500 back together, and I am trying to find the right bolts that hold the brackets for the hood hold downs that bolt to the radiator support.  These are the two small brackets that have the spring/wire in them.  I found 4 big screws, could these be the ones? 

Thanks
Gary

They are a 1/4 x 20 self tapping machine thread bolt with a large serrated washer head. Very similar to the grille mounting bolts but with larger washer under head. AMK has correct bolt but head markings are slightly different

I found two like that, so I guess I'm missing two.  Are these the same one that are for the AC condencer? 

Thanks Tim
