Hood stopper threaded insert - where to buy?
« on: January 22, 2016 - 01:20:47 PM »
I bought a nice used original 1970 Challenger fender and the only thing wrong with it is that the threaded insert that the hood stopper screws into is missing. Where can I get one of them? I've been searching the web and the catalogs from the usual suspects and I am thinking that I might have to locate as used one. Please advise.

thanks,
Chris

Call Dave @ Roseville Moparts, he will have it,,,that is where i got mine....
Might want to make sure it comes with the rubber bumper piece AND the screw...

Where are you located ? I can check if i have my old ones,,,but i think they got tossed out...

looks like the bumper and studs are available.

Highgate, Vermont where Mopars are scarce.  I already have a set of bumpers and posts coming, it's just the threaded piece that is hard to find.

I didn't realize that was the part you were looking for,,,,,thought you needed the bumper and screw based on the picture,,,,

Wonder if you call AMD and see if they have something like that when they assemble their fenders ?? Looks like a tough piece to find... Wonder if that part is fairly universal on most older Mopars  ?

Good Luck,

You can make one  out of this  with some  bench grinding and. Dremel  then tack it to the fender  it wont be perfect.  Just an idea if you cant buy one :

You could find it even in Ebay and R/T specialties...
