Hood pin set 80312

[UpNorth]

Hi all,
Could someone direct me to instructions about the hood pin set 80312. I’m already at war with the hood so it would be nice to have them. There is nothing in the manual and the forum search engine didn’t provide any help on that.
A little grrr here...Sorry for my tone.
TIA

those are the roadster parts for the cars with no hood hinge. The coupe uses a bolt with an acorn nut, one on each pontoon near the back of the hood. You should have little steel plates with a dimple in them that the acorn nut fits into.

I do have the the steel plates but can you show me what the acorn nut looks like when installed?

If I remember correctly I purchased the acorn nuts myself. I have them 1 per side located just behind the front wheels just like John has. When you drop the hood line them up, clamp it down and it will stay in place.
