1963 drain holes in hood

[Steven S.]

Can anyone post a picture of the location of the hood rain holes that are located by the cookie sheets? I am using a replacement hood and need to know this location inorder to drill holes. Need hole size as well.

Hi! Steve

The location on my 63 SWC is:

The hole is located 1" to the C/L from the outside edge and 5/16" (center of cove) from the front edge. Note how the hole seems to align with the center groove of the insert. I used a drill bit to check diameter and 1/8” fit into one of the holes and not in the other.

Hope this helps!

Addition: the hole is also 5/16 from the insert to C/L of the 1/8" hole back to front.

...and I just checked my '63 hood, and it agrees exactly with Ray's.
