I was taking the hood latch off and broke the bolts..............now what? how the hell do i get a backer in there now all i have is 2 holes. Any help would be appreciated
 
picture? is the plate in side the hood still?
 
Dang....can you find the plate, slide it over with a piece of metal coat hanger or something & put a tack-weld or two to hold it in place while you drill/tap the holes for new bolts? If you need the play afterwards, just grind off the tack welds.
 
The heads snapped AND the plate went into the hood? Didn’t know there was a backing plate. I would either fish for the backer or use nutserts (sp?) and made new threads. If you can get the backer you’ll have to figure out how to drill and tap it.
