71 - 72 Road Runner Hood Pic - 03/11/11 01:08 AM
I was wondering if someone had a pic of the underside of the hood where the bezels mounts in the front and back. Is there a bracket that is used in conjunction with nut to hold it in place on the front and back end? Also, what would someone reccommend for missing studs in the bezels? Thanks in advance for the help.

You need bell nuts like this. I have also seen some that are notched at the top where they flare it.

Thanks everyone. Wow! 20 bucks for one that is steep. What would you guys recommend for missing studs? Is there any way to fabricate some studs that would work?

He sells the studs too. If you buy the nuts you might has well get the studs you need also...I bought a whole hood for $100 just cause it had nice nuts and studs.....

RE: Bell nuts IIRC, there was a short blurb in Resto Topics(?) loong ago in Mopar Action for something that will work. "The Hunt for Red October" 1972 Road Runner. Maybe Rick Ehrenberg will reply.

I knew I had seen them somewhere else. So I guess 72' s are different than 71's

My 72' RR/GTX has those holding my bezels on a standard hood.
