You're correct Kat. The two years ago refers to the original post he's commenting on. That's fine, though. We all gotta be free to be. No harm done.

you're right, two years later may be of little help. sorry for the sarcasm. I was trying to be gentle. I failed.

You may need a donor to get this part. I'm not sure I've seen this part produced, aftermarket, not even AMD offers it. Possibly because, given its location, it's well protected from rust and exposure, compared to other areas. I may need to take a closer look at my OEM roof, but I think you...

two years later. hmm. thanks for the help.

two pairs. inner buckles, outer tips. unsure if the OP wants standard or deluxe buckles.

rallye hood inserts are generally black.

if you want it to pass as OEM, pretty darn hard and costly to fabricate just one. Cheaper to buy the $400 AMD cowl and cut out the part you want.

thanks for that. I think I need 1.5 ID, 2.5 OD. edit: My OEM cap does not bear those nipples, or outcroppings, at the 12 and 6-o-clock positions. edit: further research shows two caps for the 1970 Barracuda, one for ECS and one without. But only one, the ECS style for 1971.

You may need a donor to get that specific fragment of sheet metal. the AMD entire $400 firewall cowl part is fabricated the same way.

that kind of a patch is only as good as the skills of your body guy. while I've not used OER, specifically, I've inspected the AMD metal, and the gauge of steel measured identical to OEM. I'm only guessing, but I'm sure the OER stuff won't disappoint.

I seem to recall it possible to get the 426 hemi in a 1970 Barracuda body with a flat plain-jane hood. special order, of course, like maybe in a gran coupe? I say this, from memory, thinking I've seen one or two examples in the later 1980s at a car club in southern california. this would have...

thank you, GC. to clarify, are you saying THAT cap is too small for my 1970 Barracuda, but the box shows a good part number to google?

talk to me about the gas cap. my 1970 barracuda has a vintage locking cap I want to replace.

The OEM screws are #6-32 x 3/8 fillister head brass screws with dimpled or peened ends. My supply is limited, and I don't have a source, but I've not tried to source for several years. The screws that come with the kit will probably work, you'll know once you get the old ones out and can...

I did as EV2RTSE did, back in the 1990s, I drilled out the welds holding the old bushing in place, replaced with new ones, and welded them back shut. It takes a long time for these to wear out, and frankly, the old ones were not that bad, they just.... looked dirty and old. The bushings...
