For a front tilt that you can use your front bumper with go to https://www.gerardsgarage.com/FS_Garage.htm and look in the 'tech' area. I made my own copying the MiniMania version. Cost me about $10. for the materials and bolts.

If you are not going to use a front bumper, then use the holes the latching pins go into. I did this in '61 and the car is still set up that way. Fellow I sold it to after 30 years changed the latches at the rear to the Spitfire types, which he recessed into the fender; a very neat solution to latching.
