Hood pin lanyards

Does anyone know the correct mounting point for the hood pin lanyards?
The older press photos i have seen show them mounting in the grill area, above and between the headlights maybe?

The lanyards attach to the bumper with a screw. I'll take a look tomorrow on mine- but there is a hole in the bumper that a small sheetmetal screw goes into.

I believe the lanyards are attached to the fender. The lip thatbolts to the inner fender extends and bolts to radiator support. There is a bulge raised spot the hood pin is through bolted. Just about 3 inches infront, between the hood pin and header panel is a small screw hole. I think this is where the lanyard is attached then threaded out and back up to pin the hood down.

Make sure you have the correct length lanyard. Most Mopar applications are too short. The long nose of our cars take the longer lanyard. Anybody know the correct length?

I don't know the exact length, but the lanyards DO in fact mount to a screw on the fender under the hood. Then the lanyard passes through the headlight bezel.

Sorry I don't know what I was thinking- yes the attach to the fender. You'll definately need the longer ones.
