No hhandles on my former depot hack hood. Vents all the way along the side and fits radiator and hood former of this 26/27 donor vehicle. But when I look at what the vendors offer for this, and almost every other year hood, each handle appears to attach with two small rivets at each end, or four rivets for each handle. But my hood only has one approx 1/4" hole at each end of where it felt the former handles would attach.

So, if I purchased the reproduction handles, I'd have to fill my holes and drill eight new holes.

Or, am I, like usual, missing something? I can take and post pics if needed, but a hole is a hole the world around.

July of 1920 the pressed steel rivet handle was changed to just pressed steel handle pre formed with rolled in hole to secure .

‘13-late ‘15 handles were cast iron riveted, up to ‘20 cast steel riveted.

Thank you for that. One more quick look through the parts stash and then I will order them. Thank you for including the link to the listing, it's a big help for me.
