Gene,
Just last week I removed the same pins you are speaking of from my 73 TR6.
They were awful. I installed the cone shaped pins and realigned the hood.
Things are much better now. The cone shaped pins are available at Moss and
often up on Ebay. They don't come with nuts or washers, but I was able to get
them at my local Ace hardware store with no problem. Just make sure you take
the cone with you to the hardware store. I think it's a metric thread.

They are barrel shaped so that with the hood(bonnet) closed, they actually
go into the hole that receives them. They have a lip near the bottom that
stops the hood from going down too far, for adjustment, and they have a 45
deg. edge at the top to align the hood as it goes down onto them. Anybody
seen these?
