Need to help my brother find a part
My brother is restoring his 1978 Suburban and is looking for some sort of part that he says is designed to hold the rear of the hood down flush with the cowl. Here's what he writes, "Meanwhile I am in need of the hood hold down brackets . This is a two part piece that pulls the rear of the hood down when you lower the hood from the front. The part that mounts to the firewall has a cone shaped apparatus on the end that engages a simple u-shaped bracket mounted to the underside of the hood. The cone shaped end slides into the bracket and pulls the rear of the hood down flat with the body as the hood is lowered. I need both pieces."
I searched LMC's catalog and just don't see anything close to that. I know this is in the wrong forum so I apologize for that, but for some reason I'm blocked from any other forum but the 67-72 group.
Can someone help me first identify this part and then possibly direct me to a source for one?
