Super Bee Lift Off Hood Core Support

[MarineMopar]

Last year I purchased a stinger lift off hood for my 69 Super Bee. I just got it back from the painter and I am in the process of installing it. I have the rear brackets, pedestal rods and the Detroit Muscle 69.5 A12 Pin Kit. The issue I am having is the Core support hole and the fender to core support mount hole are not big enough for the pin. The obvious solution is to drill the hole larger and install the pin. The question is were these holes drilled larger from the factory when the hood treatment package was applied or the A12 package was selected? Research of the hood pins has confirmed that all hood pins A12 or Hood Treatment Pins were 1/2 diameter Plymouth and Dodge. Does anyone have a picture of a 69 fender that accommodates a hood pin that shows the hole without the pin installed?

I put a lift-off on my ‘68 back in the mid-70’s. Had to drill all 4 holes, just a tad over 1/2”. Worked out great. (Jar head also?) Semper Fi

Welcome to FBBO, from NorCal Sierras

sounds like a cool A12 69 Bee (clone/tribute ? I assume) project

we need some photos of said project

maybe 1st go to the welcome wagon here introduce yourself
maybe give us some background get to know each other
maybe share a story or 2 & some photos etc.

I installed a A12 hood lift off style & pins, lanyards
on my 68 RR

the core support on 68's b-bodies or fenders
didn't have the provisions for the pins you need to make a mount, drill holes
the rears were a bolt in deal replacing the hinges, mine was all from Year One

Thanks for the responses. I have tracked down the task instructions for the A12 hood see the attached JPG. The cars are mine including the Super Bee I am applying the A12 hood to.

"Re"build Dates?

Gang, My father told me that the A-12 cars rolled off the line as if I recall correctly 383 cars and the engines were pulled and replaced later at some third party. If I recall this happened on 2 days in 1969. Does anyone have information on that story? What they had in them, where they...
