1970 GTO Hood Release Bushing?
I'm putting my 70 back together and from the diagrams I have found online, it looks like there should be a plastic (I'm assuming) bushing where the hood latch release lever passes through the support bracket on the radiator support. Does anyone sell a replacement for this part?

I have bought one but can't remember just where. Might have been the Parts Place. They seem to excel with the small parts.
Edit; Ames has it, part D179G, Hood Release Rod Grommet page 106 in the newest catalog

Thanks, guys! I was looking in the area of the release rod and latch itself and could not find it.

Just bought the plastic grommet for my 71 which was missing it. Of course now the rod has less clearance, was there any kind of light oil or grease that was used on the rod to make it slide easier through the grommet? I am not sure what kind of replies to expect...

No oil or grease. That would attract dirt and grit which may make it more difficult to pull.
