Re: 40 hood release pin
Page 72 of Drake's catalog shows all the pieces and springs and how they go. I have a 40 deluxe and a standard and I am not sure what you are describing. The main pivot for the handle you lift was originally like a rivet. You can get a replacement that takes a cotter pin. I can't visualize a threaded shoulder bolt in that whole setup.

Re: 40 hood release pin
The part used to be a rivet but the sleeve has threads in it and it goes to the lift handle and the chrome hood ornament.I'll put a bolt back in but it is what Drakes kit came with.It has been 10 years since i put it on can't remember that far back now.Thanks it is part # 91a2466 in pics will put a little locktight on it this time

Re: 40 hood release pin
The parts that actuate the hood release handle are held together with pins and the pins are retained with cotter keys. The only part that uses a threaded pan head screw is the lower part of the hood ornament just behind the hood release handle.

Re: 40 hood release pin
I was thinking that the pin that the handle pivots on was a pin that had a tapered head on one side and hollow on the other end and once the handle was put in the hood ornament the pin was installed and was bradded like a rivet . That way the ornament and handle could be installed in the hood as a unit then the actuator arm was pinned and held with a cotter pin.

Re: 40 hood release pin
I think that is right but the one I got has a #12 course thread but the sleeve doesn't go all the way to the other side of hood chrome.I will hopefully get time today to try the bolt in it.After market stuff never the same as org.The other pieces have pins and cotterpins for assembly.Thanks for pics I see the pins with cotterpins but as I said my is not the same stuff

Re: 40 hood release pin
Flatmotor, If possible please post a few photos of what you are dealing with.
I think I'm not grasping your question. Thanks. |

Re: 40 hood release pin
I assumed he is referring to this pin. This is an original ornament and handle I have.

Re: 40 hood release pin
That is the pin but after market doesn't work like org.Got it back with a #12 course thread bolt and now to get the chrome strip back on hood.Chamfered the ornament to get the pin flatter but it holds now Thanks

Re: 40 hood release pin
flatmotor; Just curious, where did you get your aftermarket parts from requiring the use of #12 bolt? I bought my hood handle from DRAKE back in the 80's and it was like the OEM with a pin.

Re: 40 hood release pin
Sounds like "Industria Argentina" to me. Or perhaps a backyard repair of someone putting a new handle in an original bullnose. I too have used a couple of Drake hood ornaments and handles that had OEM type pins.

Re: 40 hood release pin
It came from ornament came from Drake but the install kit I think came from Macs back in 2000 or so.It had some of the pins with cotter pins but this one piece had the thread insert sleeve.Thought I saved the directions but in my folder of parts sales slips and stuff for this car it was not in it Thanks now to get the hood chrome back on
