Hood strap bracket
« on: February 23, 2013, 19:41:26 »
Does anyone know a part number or supplier for the hood support and strap bracket that is welded to the inside left fender?
It is pictured below.

Hey,
you live just across the river, or Lake St. Clair, from me! Why don't you stop by some time? You can cross the auto ferry at Marine City and it's only five miles from there.

 I think I had one of those brackets - not sure if I sold it or not......

Benz Dr. thanks for the invite. Since I just got my passport card I would be happy to come over. If you could find that bracket even better. Please send me a PM.

Thanks Kevin that certainly looks like it. I will forward that link on to the restorer.
