    I was wondering if anyone knows were to find the nut/thread insert that the adjustable hood bumpers thread into? I removed the ones that were installed in the car to paint it and now I have no idea were to order or buy new ones.

    Thanks

    pick n pull has TONS of them :biglaugh:

    just go to the junk yard and pick up a set with bolts and your can clean them up like new by soaking them in gas or taking a wire brush to them and then paint em so they look like new.
    I have a bench grinder with a wire brush wheel on it just for cleaning bolts and small parts

    I must have explained myself well enough. I was looking for the square nut that is part of the radiator support. It looks like it twists in the square opening on the top of the radiator support.

    Order yourself a AMK Catalog, it'll come in handy.

    As much as I love NPD, you can buy direct from AMK.
