Just got my hood pin mounting brackets and I could really use a close up photo of where it bolts up. I can`t tell where it should go,Hell I`m not even sure which end is up.Thanks for any help!

They bolt on between the front fender and the top radiator support.

Perfect thats exactly what I needed to see.Thank you Vertman. I like the look of the screws better than the pop rivits myself even though they are not factory "correct". I think rivits were what the factory used if i`m correct.

One question the top plates in the photo look like they are recessed to accept the 4 s/s screws heads do you know if they are or does it just look that way in the photo? The top plates I have are smooth and come with pop rivets.

Mine were indented a skall amount.  The are after market, so they may not be correct.
