finish on C-3 hood bumper screws

[Michael C.]

I am replacing the hood bumpers on my '76: 1/4 x 20 adjustable with rubber bumpers and located on the body at the corner of the engine compartment near each latch. Somewhere along the way they were removed by Bubba and not replaced (like so many other things!). I ordered the kit from Paragon and now realize from looking at Dr. Rebuild's and other's catalogs that they also require a nut and a flat washer. Is this a nut that goes on top and acts as a jam nut? If so is it a true jam nut (i.e. reduced height) or is it simply a std hex nut? What is the correct finish: cad or zinc in silver or dichromate in a yellowish tint? Thanks for your help.

Mike, my notes show the screw and nut as being silver zinc, and the plain washer as black phosphate. I made no special notes on the nut or the washer, indicating to me that it is a standard 1/4" hex nut and a standard 1/4" plain washer.

Assembly sequence is not clear to me without the latch and bumper screw in front of me.
