'68 hood scoop & insert fasteners?

[Cletus]

Trying to figure these things out... got a new RR hood and pre-owned scoops and scoop inserts. These came without any fasteners/nuts/whatever they are attached with to the hood, so I'd greatly appreciate any leads on what they are called and what I should look for on eBay and various vendors.

Also, should anyone happen to have any spares to offer shipped to Sweden, I'd be an even happier camper...

The screws that hold the inserts or engine callouts (383/440/hemi) are a special thread and very tough to find. Scott Smith Harms had a batch made a few years ago. You might give him a call and see if he has any left.

The fastener that hold the scoop onto the hood is called a pal nut. They come in several sizes so be sure to measure the studs first.

Excellent info - thanks!

Quick question from an inch-fraction challenged: could anyone in the know please let me in on the scoop stud dimension?

 

[Cletus]

Secured a set of screws for the callouts. Would appreciate tremendously if someone would have the correct dimensions for the scoop fasteners... from the looks of the pins on the scoops, it looks like the nuts are of the self-threading or threadless kind, like emblem fasteners?

The studs are 3/16" and yes, the nuts are self tapping. This is what you seek:
