The Hood Adjuster Bumpers with Studs are OE-style hood alignment components designed for a wide range of 1965–1977 Ford and Mercury passenger cars, as well as 1966–1977 Ford Bronco models. Supplied as a matched pair, these bumpers restore the factory hood adjustment points used to control hood height, maintain consistent panel gaps, and prevent metal-to-metal contact between the hood and surrounding body structure. They are a critical detail for classic car and truck restoration parts projects where proper hood fit and factory-correct alignment are essential.
From the factory, Ford and Mercury vehicles relied on threaded hood bumpers with integrated studs to fine-tune hood positioning at the front and rear contact points. Over time, original bumpers often deteriorate, flatten, crack, or go missing, resulting in uneven hood gaps, vibration, or contact with fenders and core support areas. Replacing worn bumpers restores the original adjustment capability and helps reestablish correct hood geometry.
Manufactured as OE-style reproductions, these hood adjuster bumpers feature the correct threaded stud design and bumper profile to match original factory components. The stud allows precise height adjustment using the original mounting locations, while the bumper head provides proper cushioning and support. Their design ensures compatibility with factory hood and body contact points across multiple Ford and Mercury platforms.
This set includes two hood adjuster bumpers with studs, providing coverage for applicable adjustment locations depending on vehicle configuration. Suitable for both car and Bronco applications, these bumpers are ideal for stock restorations, front-end rebuilds, or detail-correct refinishing projects.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, these hood adjuster bumpers are third-party OE-style replacement components 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.
