I bought a complete setup for a 68 belv. and everythign works except for the primary hood release lever. There is two small unthreaded holes in the fender tie brace and they line up with the levers holes,but theres no way the lever can sit flush. How would this mount or will it even work/am i missing something? Attached are some pics.The holes are to the right of the bracket(i just have the bracket in the pic to show you it) thanks! 5800433-IMG_1393.JPG (85 downloads)

That looks like the lever on mine. Perhaps the road runner and GTX used different levers????? I'm not familar with 68 road runners all the ones i've owned were 69's.

Here's the pic I sent you a while back. This is correct for RR. 5800660-1moparts003.JPG (78 downloads) Last edited by rrunner; 02/12/10 11:06 PM.

Think I would just find the correct lever. If you are gonna try to make it work and need measurements or better pics, drop me a line.
