Cannnot find my hood bolts! As I recall, there are studs that screw into floating nuts that are in a hood pocket and then flange nuts to tighten down - does anyone know the stud size - my bodyman will appreciate you forever, thanks

My hood's been off a few years. Driver side has the studs, 5/16-18, but Idunno if the other end in the nut plate are the same pitch or if they're fine. Other side still has the hinge mounted with bolts. Don't know if that's stock or not. Probably not since studs would make the install much easier. Even in the factory.Sic friatur crustulum

They protrude from the plate about .812" so I'd say about 1-1/14".
BUT... After closer inspection I'm going to say they may be 8mm-1.25 which is pretty close to 5/16".
I forgot they were using a lot of metric bolts on it so I didn't look carefully.Sic friatur crustulum
