Thanks

 

TTT
Guys please look in your junk box for this...thanks

 

I might ill look tonight

Lance are they the same for the 69 hood by any chance ? if yes i have a pair ...

 

Thanks Retro, I think the 71-72 louver retainer is different..guess we'll have to make one..

 

I am quite sure I have a pair of the fake louvers with the retainers stashed in a box in the garage. give me a call. (864)616-4619 greg.

 

Thanks, I have the louvers,just need one retainer...guess I'll have to make one.

 

I will look. I am sure I have one.

Are the retainers the same for both sides? If not right or left?

Don W

 

as I stated, I am sure I have the louvers AND retainers. will sell separate call me-- (864)616-4619. after 4pm eastern. greg

 

They are marked "left" and "right" on the parts, due to the bolt pattern.

 

I'll check today to see if I need a L or R.

 

The louver retainer for the 71-72 hood are the same side to side.

 

Did you find a retainer?

Don W

 

No, still looking..

 

Recently (like a day or 2 ago) on ROP there was an older post someone selling for louvers and retainers. Same color as your car, too! I know you only need the one retainer, but it's a thought....I think 75. Then dump the louvers. Body shops suck. They lost an NOS set of my 442 emblems!

 

My painter spent hours masking and painting MY louvers, dump them, I think not!

 

PM sent

Don W

 

I think he meant dump the louvers that were for sale on the other site once you have the retainer.

 

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Keep the retainers, and sell the used louvers off.

 

In one of my favorite yards today & saw this hood sitting in the mud. Pulled the retainers for you, but they are rusty.
I found another hood still on a car & pulled those & they are nice.
Give me a call if you still need them?

Wait a Minute, these metal strips pictures above are what hold the louvers on a 71-72 hood louvers on? Mine have little plastic type body shop style "speed nuts" holding them on. anyone got a picture on their car?


Sorry to hijack, but I might be missing something and I didn't even know.

 

Just wanted to bump this. Mine are clearly attached wrong. Oldspackrat, do you still have the rusty retainers? Got a picture?
