Help needed with T/A hood

[brads70]

Hey Guys I can't figure out what the windsheild washer set up looks like in a T/A hood? Mine has holes drilled for  squirters but looking at my stock flat hood I don't think I can transfer those parts? What do I need?
Thanks Brad

T/A hood had special squirters for those hoods only.  Barry will have pictures of them for you i am sure.

You can get the squirters from www.fpap.com & I bet Tom Race at R/T Specialties has the looms & T fitting.

Have you changed to the light weight hood hinges yet?

Thanks !! again! No I removed the stock springs just to fit the hood before it goes for paint. I need longer studs for the trim too. so I'll have to make a list for R/T specialties.
Does he have the springs too? Whats the difference in springs between the T/A and the AAR ? The hinges are pretty wobbly most likely worn out but I can swing that yet so they will have to do. I might get creative and make my own? I looked at the price on the billet ones from XV and thought gee maybe I could make some? ( Out of work machinist here, with all the equipment in the garage)

The AAR springs are shorter (fewer coils) due to the lighter weight hood on the AAR. (It is shorter & has a smaller scoop)

Someone does reproduce the springs, but I do not remember who it is?

Tom may have the T/A hood pin kit also.

Kenny,
I do not have photos of the underhood parts off the car, mine are still good & on the hood so I do not want to risk damaging them.

Hood springs are available at R/T specialties as well!
The squirters are $109 Maybe I'll wander the wrecking yard first to see if I can get something cheaper?
