I am restoring a 69 barracuda and would like to know what the "correct" colors are suppose to be on the hood latch ,catch and striker ? Also I would like to buy hood pins for this car.I think the 69 cars where different? could someone tell me where to get the "correct" ones and where do they munt on the rad support? Thanks,Tom



I don't think 69 Barracuda were optional with hood pins. I believe it was a late 69 Dart option though.

hood latch: grey brownish cad type plating with different component plated differently (washers, rivets...)

catch: brown dichromate zinc finish (grey brownish cad type plating) with rivet plated differntly.

striker (on hood): body color along with bolts

spring: brown dichromate zinc

release handle: brown dichromate zinc

release handle large pivot bolt (67-69 Barracuda only part): silver cad

rods: brown dichromate zinc

that's a thread on super OE detailing of Mopar hood latches. Just take a deep breath if you don't need or want to go ultra anal OE resto on your latches. Just plate them medium to dark dull grey. Or find someone that will plate brown dichromate zinc
