Chris,
I have the same two captive nuts on the fire wall. But the thing Allen
is talking about is a couple of inches to the left, almost against the
bonnet hinge. Of course my is missing and I only have an outline of dirt
and rust on the firewall. Try taking another look, look to the left of the
nuts, running parallel to the hinge. I almost missed the outline since I
saw the two captive nuts. Anybody else with a 77 Midget want to take a
look?
Bill
PS. This is really starting to make me wonder.
