My Lower Front Hood Trim #01A-8216 came in a box of parts with no fasteners. I have them cleaned up and ready to install. But no hardware. I have tried all of the online shops and even fordbolts.com to no avail. Any help with specs and/or identity would be greatly appreciated. Richard deVarga Austin, Texas rdevarga@gmail.com

I think if you look under the edge of the hood you will see that the holes in the trim alighn with screw holes in the hood-use a flat head slotted screw of appropriate size

It a little more difficult than that Woodieman. There are 4 holes per side. Three of the holes are tiny, possibly sheet metal screw with a large flat head to cover the slots on the trim. One of the holes could be for a #12-24 nut and bolt. That is the question: What is the recommended (appropriate) mounting hardware? Or even something close.

Did you talk to Roy Nacewicz? They may be in his kit. The parts catalog does not show these bolts. I thought that they were 12-24 x 3/4 with nuts and lock washers. Tom

Yes, I spoke with Roy at Fordbolts.com. He does not have a kit nor does he know which fasteners are required. He told me to get the spec's and then he will be able to see if he has the correct fasteners. I am surprised that this is so difficult. I have even called the groups re-poping the stainless and they do not have the kit nor know the recommended fasteners. Anyone out there with a '40 Standard or pickup that can open the hood and tell me how the lower front hood trim is attached?

O.K. I have two 40 standard passenger cars. I assume the pickup trim is probably put on the same way as the passenger car. On each end of the trim there is a pan head sheetmetal screw. It looks like a number 8X3/4 screw. In between the sheetmetal screws there are 12X24X3/4 panhead screws with nuts and lock washers to fill the remaining holes. All the screws would be the raven finish if you want to be correct.

Perfect trjford8. Done! Trim is back in its rightful place after possibly 40+ years.
