The Hood Adjuster Bumper Kit is an OE-style restoration component set designed for a wide range of classic GM cars, including 1962–1970 Chevy II and Nova, 1967–1969 Camaro and Firebird, 1970 Camaro, and 1964–1970 Chevelle, El Camino, and Monte Carlo models. This 6-piece kit restores the factory-correct hood adjustment points used to support the hood, control hood height, and maintain consistent panel gaps along the front sheet metal. It is a critical detail for classic muscle car restoration parts projects where proper hood alignment and fit are essential.
From the factory, hood adjuster bumpers were used to fine-tune hood positioning while preventing metal-to-metal contact between the hood and surrounding body panels. Over time, original bumpers often harden, crack, flatten, or go missing entirely. When worn or absent, hood alignment can suffer, leading to uneven gaps, vibration, or contact with fenders and core support areas. Replacing these bumpers restores the original support points and helps reestablish correct hood fit.
Manufactured as OE-style reproductions, these hood adjuster bumpers match original factory dimensions, material characteristics, and adjustment profiles. The bumpers are designed to thread or seat into original mounting locations, allowing precise hood height adjustment as intended by GM. Their construction supports proper hood stability while maintaining factory-style appearance under the hood.
This kit includes six bumpers, providing complete coverage for applicable hood adjustment locations depending on model and year. It is well-suited for full restorations, front-end rebuilds, or detail-correct refinishing projects where original hood alignment hardware is required.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this hood adjuster bumper kit is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy. X-Parts provide dependable solutions when AMD all-new tooling components are not required, while still supporting factory-correct restorations.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
