Was putting my new hood together and let’s just say as always the easiest jobs turn out to be the biggest pain. The speed nut threads that came with my new hood were smaller so the stock bolt ended up snapping. I was able to transfer all of the stock hood speed nuts over so now I just need a new bolt. Does anyone know the size of the stock hood safety latch bolts?
