Default C2 hood lock down posts

I'm in the processed of buying a used small block hood bit there doesn't seem (from the picture) to be any lock down posts with it. Where can I buy these locks?

Are you talking about these?


You can get them from just about any Corvette parts supplier - or used on eBay.

Can you post a picture of the hood?

Yes those are the ones. I looked on Ebay and Zip and couldn't find them. Perhaps I was calling them by the wrong name. Thanks all.

They are on Ebay but as others have stated the parts reproduction warehouses also sell them. Here is a link to a pair on Ebay but some are advertised as for 1968 and up. Not sure if those (C-3) will work on a C-2.

From what I can tell, the C2 cone-head bolts fit '61-'67 (#3782560); the '68-'69 used shorter bolts plus they're mounted on the firewall corners instead of the hood corners; the '70-'77 used slightly longer bolts than '68-'69 but still 1.25" shorter than '61-'67.
