philcas1987 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I had no idea 68 hinges were different. I need a set to finish my 68. Please message me if you could spare a set. Link to comment
Chris#51EPGraham Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 68 hood hinges are different? In what way - you tried later ones and they don't fit? Just asking for our collective education. I don't have hood hinges left for any year. Link to comment

71DIMER Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Yeah my drivers side broke at the pivot point, luckily I was able to fix it! Link to comment
the510keeper Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I have some there from a Opel GT, you need to cut the side that welds to your hood then grind the side you bolt to the body done $20 there yours Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Ok guys im still actively looking for a set! Someone has to have some in a box or bucket somewhere. You can tell them apart easily by looking at the u bend section. 69-73 have a doubler plate there. Whereas the 68 is a one piece not having that doubler plate. Please just take a minute and look at you're stash. Link to comment

philcas1987 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Here's a shot. No doubler plate on the bend. The bend is different and the part that mounts to the body is different. I don't want to hack a later one only to cause hood alignment issues. Please ? Link to comment

Laecaon Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 You have a 68? I think he is thinking he has 68 hinges on his 72, so a switch is in order... Link to comment
spriso Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I just checked my 510 front buck (clip) that we use for engine mock-up (its a 68) and it has both hinges! Send me a PM and let me know what you are thinking (the buck is buried way back in the storage container!) Michael Link to comment
