Hi All, BoBs Cads has some hood braces but doesnt know what series they were from.  Is there a way to identify them?  Im looking for 63 Series.

According to my book its the same for 63 series as it is for 61 series. I could post a picture if that helps? Its a completely different animal to the 62 I do know that.

Its hard Tod to get pictures which show the small but significant differences. The main one I can see is the 61 series has a skeletal bracket that holds it to the bulk head whereas the 62 series is a solid plate.
First picture is the 61 series.

Todd, I found one of mine. It does not have the skeletal hinge. I may have another to look at, but I'm not sure.
