Radiator shell question

[Bob from Northport]

There is a hood rod pivot point on top of a radiator shell. Can anyone advise how the pivot point for the hood rod is secured to the radiator shell??
Is it soldered, or spot welded, or???? Trying to get one off a 31' shell


Thanks!!

Mine just slides out, is yours rusted?, penetrating oil could be your friend

I just looked at my 31 shell, it sure looks like a rivet to me. I can't see the underside, but the top sure looks like a rivet head.

It looks like a rivet to me also. But i drilled it out on both sides and it will not move.
