I have drilled on set of hinges and honed the
hole a bit to work. I don't know if I did 69 hinge to fit 68 or 68 hinge to
fit 69. I did use the back hole but the front hole was different
location.
Not much help but my
experience

Has anyone had any luck modifying the hood
hinges from a 68 in order to put a 69 hood on a 68 with the 68 hinges?
It appears that the rear mounting point is farther back on a 69 hood, but
can you just extend the hood mounting point on the 68 hinges rearward to
make it work? I know you can buy repo 69 hinges to solve this problem,
but I have pretty good metal working skills, and wondered if I could save a
few frogskins...... Thanks.
