E-body hood hinge rivets

[71340RT]

Who sells the rivets to rebuild your own hood hinges? I wanted to give it a try on my 73 Challenger project but the person selling them on ebay has not had a listing for them since November 25 and I don't have a e-mail address to get a hod of him. This is a picture of what the rivets look like.

Just pull up the old listing and hit Contatct seller in the upper right.

the holes where the rivets go are most likely oval too. I`d drill slightly bigger holes, make sure they are perfectly round ( I dont know the english name for the tool    )    Then take them and the old rivets to a lathe shop and have them made.  I made mine out of 4140 chome-moly.  very tough but still able to rivet.
The rivetting is the tricky part btw...

Good chance those are oversize but might be wrong. I too am interested in doing this, never was able to get my hood to close correctly. Not sure if its wear in the hinges or bent/bowed hood

From what I have read here, most of the time when the back of the hood is up, the hood is not adjusted properly.  I would be great if some could post a video on how to properly adjust the hood hinge.

That would be great

IIRC it was the Funk Bros that sold them so good luck.

Just send your hinges out to Resto Rick for a rebuild.
