Topic: Hood Dimensions for 69 Hood Pins

[Machspeed]

Hey friends, forgive me as I have been all over the sight looking and keep coming up empty. I'm wanting dimensions for drilling holes through my hood for hood pin placement. I had to replace both front aprons and radiator support bracket on my car. I have all my panels gapped and aligned with hood on car and properly fitted. I centered the hood pins in the radiator support bracket, put tape under the hood, ink on the tips of the pins and closed the hood to see where they would land. They are off from each other. I do believe I have range of movement of the pins to equally locate them through the top of the hood but would really like some OEM dimensions before I drill the hood. I do not want them coming up through the hood unequal, if that makes sense.

Thanks!

I can measure mine. Its never been wrecked. Do you have a particular place you want me to measure from/to?

The tips can be off from the bases since they are attached to the thin metal of the radiator support and that lip can be bent in many directions if you just go by the tips things can jamb a bit if there are not fairly straight upward but don't have to be perfect since the hood hole and the bezel have two different sized holes. Unfortunately don't have an original 69 Mach to measure from
