Hood clip & bolt picture anyone?

Post by 4x4x4crewcab »

I'm in need of a picture of a hood bolt clip. My truck is 20 miles away and I won't be able to get to it until the weekend. Would anyone have a picture of one of the clips for the 4 main mounting bolts. While I was trying to finish up my truck the other night my L.H. rear hood bolt decided to brake / strip ? The hood has been fine for a year or better and all the sudden it decides to cause me trouble. I opened the hood to put ia a new battery and the cowl weatherstrip. I go to close it and the back bolt
is loose like it backed out so I start to tighten it up and it falls out in my hand with the threads still attached to the bolt. Is this just a J-nut style clip? Thanks in advance

Yes, it's just a regular J-clip:

What a relief. I couldn't remember for sure but was thinking the worst. Thanks, only a minor set back I will tackle it this weekend.
