This is for you folks out there who want the correct part number on your hinge. Good used OEM original hood hinges that are available individually or as a set. We now offer a PREMIUM quality reproduction that is superior to any other reproduction. We carefully inspect these hinges before sending them as used hinges are prone to wear in more than one area. Here is a helpful youtube video that shows you how to adjust your hood. Shipped without the spring. These will also work on 1967-70 as well. But because the 1970 Cougar has the grill center attached to the hood, the springs for 70 are heavier duty to support the extra weight. This version with the rounded over rivets showed up late in the 1970 model year, limited supply WITHOUT SPRING.
Ford part # D0ZB-16800.
Anghel Restorations offers a very detailed breakdown of the differences in the Cougar and Mustang hood hinges.
