You made me go out to the garage and raise the hood on my 69. The 68 and 69 Skylark/ GS did not have these at the rear of the hood.
Todd, There are two rubber bumpers attached to the bottom of the back edge of the hood. "The press in type" There is a welded metal support on top of the cowl at each corner. There is no adjustment to these.
The finish should be gold in color (like seat belt bolts) to be a correct representation. The nut should be natural 11/16 " across the flats thin nut.
