Hood Studs Tool
TGR-ECOSSE - 1/9/07 at 01:05 PM

My mates needing to replace the studs on the hood of his Beauford wedding car and has got the studs but he borrowed a tool to fit them when he built the car and needs to know what the tool is called and where to buy one. The studs are the 2 piece ones that go through the hood and get flared on one side to hold them in. Hope this makes sense and someone will know what i am on about.

Cheers
Ronnie

Sorry just spent 1hr looking and can't find it, my filing system/memory is obviously not as good as I thought.

£ 4 for that?!?!?! A nail with a modified head* and 2p coin would work just as well. The fasteners are plated brass (?) so is fot metal.

I've used one to fit for rivet nut type things.
