I beleive if you look under the hood you can see where they go. I bolted mine to the car and slamed the hood closed and then I could see where to drill... well maybe not slamed the hood. lol But I did mark my hood that way, they fit perfect.

Challenger has the holes already there.
Barracuda/Cuda has a bolt on braket to mount them. Not sure if it is reproduced or not. Sold a set that I got at the U pull it years ago.
Once you add the braket and the pin take some of the Wifes or GF's nail paint{or get one from the Wife and one from the GF } and put it on top the pin. close it easy so the paint marks where to drill the hole in hood.

'Cudas need/use a bracket, Challengers don't. For a 'Cuda, the bracket is a triangular piece W/3 holes... 2 that bolt it to the front of the fender and 1 (bigger) for the hoodpin. they hang off the front of the fender and are side specific. the hood already has holes in the bracing for the pin and are an equal dist from the front and side.

Challenger pins bolt to the fender support and the hood should also have the holes in the bracing.

pic attached. btw, the little tab is for the lanyard to attach to.
