I am putting together the Air Grabber hood for my for my friends 72 Road Runner GTX. He bought an original hood for the car,but the bubble and air door are reproduction pieces. The bubble did not come with any of the holes that mount the bubble to the hood,or the hinge to the air door drilled out. I drilled out and tapped all the mounting bosses that mount the bubble to the hood,but the holes that mount the hinge to the bubble and the hinge to the door are non existant. I need to know which way the hinge mounts to the hood and bubble so I can properly drill the pieces out. I am thinking that the three screws are for the door and the five screws are going to be drilled in the bubble. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Pete.

Here is a picture of my 71 road runner air grabber. Angle is with hood up and from underneath. My air door has 3 raised pedestals to mount the hinge

Soon the 72 Road Runner GTX will be returned to its original N96 Air Grabber hood configuration.
