1969 Roadrunner hood inserts..How are they held on??

[Propwash]

Being my current 69' RR Project didn't have a useable hood when I got it, I went and purchased a new AMD hood and inserts..

I see there is blank studs coming down off the inserts and imagine that is part of securing it to the hood, but what fasteners do I use? Any idea where to get them?

Thanks fella's..

3/16 cutting nuts. PM me your addy and how many you need.

Those damn hoods have a lot too them, especially if you have all the air grabber junk.

I'll need a handfull of those same 3/16 cutting nuts as well as a set of correct style rivets to put all this stuff back together after the hood is stripped and repainted.

I could use a new boot to seal to the air cleaner too.

Try fastenall they have them in a book you can order from and Im very surprised how cheap they are for a box. You can buy a whole box for the price of 10 on ebay.

Yep, that's it, and there is also a plastic gasket that goes between the insert and the hood.

I more question for you guys......I don't have an Air Grabber or the screens. I have the metal inserts in place of the screens. I take it those were originally painted body color?

I'm interested in this as well, I do have the screens and I need to know if they are supposed to be orange like I have seen on so many cars? if so what is the orange exactly?

Check out Au-ve-co Products. I have bought a box of 100 specialty fasteners for pennies compared to some on-line suppliers. Most industrial suppliers have a listing of their products or go on line http://www.auveco.com/

Holy smokes! A guy could spend hours looking at all the stuff they have. Great resource! Thanks for posting.

They are red

This is also what I have been told.

 

[northerndave]

Anybody got anything more specific as to the red for the screens?

How do you get those "pop rivets" off?

AMD has the correct Nuts for your application.

 

[dons4406]

AMD sells the correct nuts you need.

 

[dons4406]

I believe they are called Pal nuts. I have bought them from AMD myself.
Hope this helps.

My knee jerk reaction says no. I have a couple of sets of those (in not really good condition) and I believe they were the textured finish like the grille.

I drilled em.

 

[Finallygotmine]

I drilled em.

I was wondering if there was some special tool or technique, drilling works for me.
