Here is a picture of the ones on my T/A. Nothing special....if I remember correctly they are stainless steel.

Challengers go from side to side and Cudas go from front to rear. The reason (I believe) is the Challengers hood slopes far more that the Cudas. If you put the hood pin front to rear on a Challenger the pin only holds the hood down on one side of the pin.
If you look at the picture that I posted earlier.....that is a untouched T/A hood and you can see the scuff marks that is left from the pin digging into the base.

Is this for both fiberglass and steel hoods? Previous reply advised there was a difference between hood material.

That is the fun thing about Mopars......you can never say "never" or "always"!!
Here are two pictures that I just have. The orange AAR is a 17K survivor that is very original when it cam to the body. These pins went front to rear....

Back to the original question.
Where can you get the rivets or are they anything special?
Are they 5/16"? How long? Also since I am high jacking my rivit gun works great but cuts the post off to where it can be seen in the center od the rivit once it is done? Thoughts? I used stainless pan head philips screws last time due to that, since the Rivits looked bad
