1968 Hood locks question

[classicsguy]

I have read in this forum that there is a stick on part on the hood locks,I believe its on the bottom part but not sure. Can someone please explain me if this comes with the hood locks either aftermarket or NOS originals or you have to get it from some mustang part supplier.
Thanks in advance

It's the large flat "washer" that sits on top of the hood, between the hood pin and the hood, so the spring doesn't dig in to your paint. I believe that it comes with the hood pin assy, but I've never had to buy one, so can't say for sure.

Thanks for reply Steve,so that washer must then have a glue underneath?

Here's the thread where we talk about attaching the hood pin washer.

yes, my new aftermarket hood pin locks come with lower washers and they have a small double sided adhesive tape ring to stick onto the hood. Original hood pins I removed from the hood did have some type of glue.

the new aftermarket lower washers were real thin and kind of cheap looking :undecided so I decided to use the OEM washers with the 3M double sided tape. The top side pins with brushed aluminum look are nice. :smile:
