Remove the plates from the hood braces but first mark them for location and right or left sides as shown in pic1.
Pic2 Now take some 7/16" square nuts and weld them to the bottom side of the mounting plates. Once this is done replace the plates back on the braces and weld them on for good, make sure they are were they should be! Pic3 Now go ahead and install the hood again and bolt it in place. You can also install the springs again to make it easier and help hold it open.
