I have six reproduction 32 hood hinges from various venders. They're all
narrower than the original. Original ones measure between .750 to .760 inches.
The repops measure .720 in width. This causes the hood tops to bind when
lowered in place. I suspect they're all made by vintque. Has anyone ran into
his issue?. I am in need of a hinge that actually fits. They're 32 inches in
length but original ones should be 31 7/8 inches. The repops also do not
slide over the cowl or radiator brackets!
