Default Hood Insulation 57 Starchief

I want to put hood insulation in my 57, but don't have the rod holders. Any ideas on installation without the rods? Or where I might find the rods? Thanks

I bought hood rods from either Ames Or California Pontiac.
Not expensive. They came with clips.

Weird. Maybe demand & supply have both waned?
'57 & '58 are both the same but a little hard to find. Keep your eyes peeled & I will look around too.

I will take a hood spring to the big swap this weekend and compare to other GMs of the era.

Let's see some photos!
