So Restorers part# 1024---described as a base plate replacement for originals hood latches is the piece? Pg 1 17/17 on the site and on pg 4 in their catalog, lower right, the rings in the picture?


If so I'd have never known--and I was asking for the wrong part.


I've only seen one original Cobra and it was a 427 @ a car show in Denver many years ago. Never did go to the Shelby museum in Boulder in all the years I lived in Colorado, wasn't really into Cobras at that time.

Were they riveted on? from pictures I've seen in books I can't tell how they were mounted--being it was a aluminum body A rivet would seem likely.

Thanks
