I’m in need of a hood yet again . My original hood it rotten Beyond saving second one I got both adjustment inserts broke today trying to install it today. Do they make new slider inserts ? I’ll cut a hole and put new ones in the hood if they sell them if not I need a decent hood for 70-72 duster hood or valiant only.
70-72 duster or valiant hood only. No other years fit friends please don’t suggest or offer any other years. They won’t work.
 
You can cut the inner layer out of the hood and just use the top layer that is still good and pin it down like a fiberglass Hood..
..I've got one done like that and it's better than trashing old hood..if you need pics lemme know
 
I don’t want to do pins or fiber glass . I was to cut a hole and slide in a new insert nuts thing and can weld back over the square I cut out but no one seems to know what that part is called
 
“Adjusting nut bar” is this legit what it’s called ? Nothing on the entire web shows anything when looking it up

Is the one in your old hood any good to take it out and reuse?

One is rotten beyond repair . Second snapped the internal slider nuts ( no one knows what they are called ) . I could cut cavity open & replace if they sell them but don’t think they do
 
I don’t know how correct you are looking but 71 is a one year only hood because of the hood pins. If you aren’t going to use hood pins 70-72 will suffice.

Can you drill out the snapped bolt?

Thr bolt is fine . It’s the internal nuts inside the hood cavity. I can cut open the cavity and replace maybe if they sell this very strange part . 69-72 hood are the same design and shape . Some of the 72 hoods don’t have the slider nuts in the hood but most do . But they got rid of those things completely by 73 .
 
I have this 70 hood in Michigan. Zero rot.
