[Auto331NZ]

Installing the hood vent casting and there are 10 small 1/2"? SAE bolts to mount the casting. Can someone advise the sae size/thread of these bolts, as not common down here in New Zealand?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

HERE is an ILL -

Can you ID the needed parts by referring PN's or needed attaching parts to shown BASIC PART NUMBERS?

Thanks for the diagram Kultulz. The small bolts are P/N 16929 attaching the scoop to the body.

16929 is the hood latch pins.

Look @ the below ILL -

​

I think what you are after are the attaching parts for the BASIC PART NUMBER 16637 (RETAINER) shown above. There are 10 cap screws, correct?

​

If you look @ the above parts listing, it shows 1963 S (Below X - S being BIRD) as having 10 cap screws (Screw - Emblem to hood) - No. 8-32 X 3/8") attaching the 16637 to the hood itself. The application should read 1961/63 (IMO) as the years were the same.

I believe this is the ones in question-
