Re: 57 hood bolts

Same bolts that bolt the inner fenders to the fenders. 5/16 18tpi, 3/4 inch long. It's also the same bolts that are used to mount the hood latch panel. Hardware store bolts with washers would be fine and my local Ace Hardware even sells the original style bolts.

If you don't have a good hardware store nearby you can order them from Restoration Specialties.
