1970 Dart Swinger Hood Pin holes

Sorry, I didn't see your response until just now, so no pictures. I found a damaged original 340 Dart hood with the bezels stripped off. The hole is 3/4 of an inch wide and 7/8 inch long (from of car to back). Sighting through the hole that is in the hood underframe, I believe the the extra 1/8 inch is toward the front edge of the hood, with the back of the hole centered on the pin location when the hood is closed. The hole in the hood frame is even more elongated which makes sense (1 inch wide, 1 1/4 long).
