67ss4speed Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Is there a supplier and or manufacturer recommendation for the correct 1970 hood insulation blanket and the correct steel clips? Are the steel clips able to be reused? Edited February 26, 2023 by 67ss4speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I have not seen the steel clips reproduced, only the plastic ones. I’m sure the steel ones could be reused though. The hood insulation seems fairly consistent between vendors in my experience. The Parts Place, Original Parts Group, CARS Inc, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S. Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Be sure to clean out and ream the holes if you're using the plastic clips.... And if you can, get a few extra. The reproduction ones aren't as sturdy as the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67ss4speed Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 The existing are the square steel with the points punched so the square looks like it has two arrows. I see the Parts Place in Dekalb and Luttys Chevy both have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I used the square metals ones from Luttys and they were excellent rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
