 Topic: 1970 Javelin hood "vent" fasteners?Posted: Mar/14/2023 at 4:18pm |

Hello everyone! Does anyone know what sort of hardware and fasteners were used to hold the faux hood "vents/scoops" on a 1970 Javelin hood? My car's original hardware has long gone missing and I figured it would be smart to do some research before trying every type of fastener at the local hardware store. I haven't been able to find any sort of information through the wonderful world of Google or forum searching, though it's very possible I may have simply overlooked it. Thanks in advance for the help! Cheers! -Brad L.

AMARK has them for the functional hood they might be the same for non-functional hoods?

Bigbadgreen- I had a sneaking suspicion but wasn't completely sure. Definitely on the top of my list the next time I head to the hardware store. jgrantamx- Functional hood as in a Mark Donohue hood? Or something else? Definitely going to give the speed nuts a try and go from there. Thanks for the input everyone! Cheers! -Brad L.

There were a couple of different hoods available for 70 Javelin see below, the ram air hood functional version only for Javelin SST Go-Pac, and a stock type hood with cast chrome/black ornaments. What hood do you have? The AMARK fastener kit shown above is for the ram air hood inlet chrome and ducts. J  J  |

The hood with the flat ribbed chrome insert uses speed nuts. The stud on the backside of the trim piece is tapered.

jgrantamx - The base model SST with the flat ribbed faux vents is what I have. No fancy ram air for my Javelin unfortunately (yet!) White70JavelinSST - Gotcha, and appreciate the input! Cheers! -Brad L.

You're welcome. The information is accurate as well. The base model hood with flat ribbed chrome inserts is in my basement, I tipped it away from the wall and looked at the fasteners. |
