Default Help please

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction!
I have a 67 big block hood, in the 2 pieces it was made in, namely the outer and the inner. They are not bonded together as yet and i need the backing plates for the locks, support and hinges. According to the AIM (page G333) the part numbers are 3797100 plate lock, 2 required, 3797113 plate support 1 required, 3797056 2 required.
I have tried CC and a couple of other vendors with no luck.
I am happy to fabricate them if someone has a hood in the same condition as mine with the inner unattached maybe they could measure them for me?
Thanks in advance for any help

So you're looking for #3, 4, & 5?

I think your only option is to get them from a used parts vendor or find your own destroyed hood to scavenge (I'd guess small block hoods used the same hardware). I can't imagine hoods of any condition are readily available in Australia though. I looked on eBay and came up with nothing. I don't have any personal experience recommendations for a vendor but David Sokolowski [(310) 329-5334] in California seems to have a whole ton of various parts and lists "hundreds of hoods to choose from" in the latest NCRS Driveline classified magazine. If anyone has these plates, I'd guess he does.

Just FYI, there was a thread entitled: Who is David Sokolowski.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes # 3,4 & 5
I have contacted Dynamic in the hope that they might have some for sale as they manufacture the hoods.

If all else fails I will fabricate them. Its not as if I will get a points deduction from a NCRS judge, as they aren't seen
