I don't know the part number, but dial caliper is great tool to to have on hand to measure the length and a tap and die set will include metric and sae keys to get you the threads. Makes it easy to look up the part

Good luck

And a bottle of touch up paint, they won’t come painted.
Remember, internal drive bolts like Allen or torx get chewed up quickly with an impact, or anything electric. You have to do those by hand.
An old truck to saving paint on bolts is to put some bearing grease on them first, it gives a cushion to the tool.

Thanks all. Was thinking Mopar would sell replacement bolts. Anyone have experience with tracking this part number down?

The hinge looks to be sold as a complete unit - part numbers 68302114AB (Left) and 68281884AC (Right). The hinge lists for $63.50 online. You can take the bolt out of the other hinge and go match it up at a hardware store then paint to match.

The only Torx head bolts referenced in the schematics are to attach the hinge to the hood and body - part number 06512030AA.

I tried to remove 1 to remove the hood to cut hood vents out. Started to immediately strip it even with the correct torx tool.

Gave up. They will never be removed :)

Why not just remove the 13mm on the other side of the hinge? Unless your goal is to swap or paint hinges... if you just want to remove the hood get the other bolts instead.

Removing the torx will result in paint damage.
