Where are all rivets mounting ram air chamber to 68 Shelby hood and what sealant

[BlackCobraKR]

I am building a 1968 Shelby GT500KR clone and I am wanting to mount the ram air chamber to the reproduction Tony Branda 68 shelby hood that I purchased. Can somebody tell me or show where all the rivets where located to hold the ram air chamber underneath the hood and also what sealant I could use to seal it to the hood?

I would appreciate any help and thanks!

Happen to have this original KR hood in garage, if you want closeups of rivets with a tape measure locating them, Send PM with email and I will forward photos. Good luck

If you have a reproduction ducting, at least the one that Branda sells, shows the location of the heads of original rivets.

The rivets are the easy part. Reproducing the mounting adhesive mess accurately is a real issue.

I believe that if you follow that entire thread that Tim posted he indicates that he thinks he has got the last of the original adhesive and the rivets?

Even the cured color of the adhesive is a bit unique. You need to realize that at the time Smith wasn't just the cutting edge of the technology it was the technology. It's difficult to recreate the crudeness of it now.

Yeah I looked for that but this one does not show the locations at least none that I can see. I think Branda also has some of the correct rivets but I may be mistaken.
