I can't find any hood stripes for my 1985 elky, would 4 gen stripes work

If I remember correctly the "SS" stripes for the 4th generation are not on the hood they're on the side of the Elky. The 5th Generation SS didn't have hood stripes either it had a decal set but those were along the bottom mostly so to find something you have to actually go back the the Third Generation or, you can have a Paint Shop do some for you, they'd be custom.
