    Has anybody come up with a new hood hinge that actually works for 46 to 48 Fords yet?

    I tried Hinges from Drakes =weak and wobbly, ended up using their spring and rebuilding my original hinges . I cut the all the original rivets out , they were grooved from wear , and the holes they pivot in were oblonged , so I rounded the pivot holes and used new rivets which I had to fatten up to fit the pivot holes , By heating the new rivets and holding the heads with channel lock pliers ,placed the head on an anvil and smacked the post with a ball peen hammer ,now they fit the newly rounded pivot holes. reassembled and greased the pivot points, Hood fits ,mouldings line up , I'm happy IMG_0485.JPG
