While we are on hoods....Does anyone know of a source for these (two) recessed rubber bumpers used on both the T/A and AAR hoods? They do not come in the E-body kits.

Thanks for clearing that up Ken, I do not look at the AARs as closely as I do the T/As. I admit to a slight bias.....

I am not aware of a source for the bumpers? If they are not being done yet, I can supply originals to Bill if he wants another item to take on.

is there a pt number molded into the bumper ?
if not just demensions + detailed pics would be good for now

Is that the bumper at the rear corners of the hood? I hadn't realized they were different from the steel hood bumpers. Is it the same height? I suppose I could drill a repro steel hood bumper for a screw if Bill doesn't come up with something.

No number on it that I can see, but the screw will not budge, so I can not check the back side just yet...

I did get the screw out of the far side, but that bumper is missing on my hood.

7/16 - 1/2" OD and 1/4" tall? Yet a 1-1/2" screw

I thought it odd too?

I wonder if it helped hold the hood hinge mount in place during the 'glass work or something.......

Ok, back the subject at hand.
these just in 3.25" overall length + right at 1.5" folded over. And the ends look like the OE straps with at least what appears to be a very similar style clamping ends

On the rubber bumpers look at http://www.mcmaster.com Check out page 3700 what they sell may not be perfect but it's close enough that unless someone brings their calipers it would be very convincing... & the one thats closest is less than $10.00 for 100..

Bill - Very nice! Will you have them in time for Carlisle?

Bill:
They are. Both screw and clip are zinc plated. Just had mine redone. I find it interesting that Chrysler would use two different methods to accomplish the same task. The screw / clip method makes for a cleaner install. No sags.

Rear bumper and screw: I got the same screw length as Barry.

Many thanks to everyone who helped, and especially Bill for coming up with this much needed part. Now when I see a car missing these at a show, I can let the owner know where to find them.

Possible reason for the long screw, note the shim washers on the low mile T/A.

So Barry you are saying the screw was to long so they made it shorter by just sticking a few washers under the head
{ie} used what they had laying around since they just needed so few screws?

Nope.

I am saying that it is possible they used a long screw for this applicataion so the hood could be shimmed (as needed) to meet the upper fender line better.
