Default Need help on 58 hood latch firewall stud plates

Hello -

I need some help!!

There are some stud plates that mount on the firewall that the female hood brackets bolt to. I believe the hood release bracket also connects to them.

My problem is...someone filled in these holes and I have no idea how these plates mount on the firewall.

I believe I have the correct brackets, just need to find how they mount. One of the brackets I have has 3 studs on it, and the other has 2. T

If someone is familar with these brackets, I can send you pictures of what I have and maybe you can help me out.

Thanks!!

Thanks!!! That is exactly what I needed to see, but fortunately for me, I got the hood release brackets and I was able to see how they hooked up. But these are great pictures.
