I think the titanium color on the Hotchkiss is darker than your wheels.
I know its hard to tell, some pictures look lighter than others

Well, I know from comparing the plates to my grill before my grill was painted the they are at least a couple of shades darker. You might be able to live with that.I wonder if you could remove the anodization from them to make them a raw aluminum
That is what my upholsterer did.you might want to get more accurate measurements, because 1.5in on a side and 2in diagonal does not calculate out. If you have exactly 1.5 in on a side, it will calculate out to very close to 2-1/8" diagonal. Someone should probably measure the bolt pattern with dial calipers.

Just checked the Ring Bros web page I didn't see anything about tape. 4 screw holes, etc.I might be a 1/16” with the tape measure but thats the measurements i got
yup, that sounds better mathematicallyJust re did it with a straight ruler, 2” diagonally and actually 1-7/16” on each side
I could slightly open the holes, wouldnt take much
Given that stainless doesn't machine that well I doubt that it would be cost effective do thatI'm surprised somebody doesn't make them out of stainless.

I read that and it doesn't make any sense to me. You can see from the literature there are 4 screws to attached the base, and I have personally seen them on a 69 Dart flop top and they had screws. I wonder if the tape is used as a method of locating everything until the screw holes are drilled? As for mine it was easy, I located the base and pin, marked everything and drilled the holes.Heres off the intructions on summit
“Install the hood pin plates. Note that the plates will be attached with tape, so if the hood has been recently waxed you may want to remove the wax around the hood pins so the tape will stick. Tape the recessed bottom surface of each hood pin plate. Cover the entire surface so the tape laps over the sides and then trim the tape inside the recess flange and around the center hole. Close the hood and remove the protective plastic from the double sided tape. Center each plate on the hood pin and lower it to contact the hood. Press them into place.”
They probably dont advertise it cause $200 for tape on hood plates is a rip off! Thats what your relying on to mate up with the pin in cause of a hood latch failure

And when the tape dries out???
