I need a hood bumpers?
« on: March 21, 2009 - 10:09:52 PM »
Hello ,
Were do you get hood bumpers for a 1970 Challenger? I just bought a T/A repo hood and when I tried to adjust the bumpers one was seized? I see them at Year One, just wondering what my options are?
Thanks Brad

One of the front threaded ones?

If so, you may be able to heat it up a little & get it to move with a small pipe wrench (with the rubber covering off)

Once it moves, take it out, chase the threads on it & the insert then re-install & you can fine tune it with a large phillips screwdriver once again.

Nah the screw driver slot( star ) was stripped and I had to use vise grips to get it out.I need to get another /new one.
