Hood installation 49 b1

[weasel]

I  am starting the reassembly after paint. My question is there any thing that installs on the bottom of the hood to prevent wearing the paint on top of the fender? I know there is a rubber bumper on top of the radiator enclosure the holds the hood up, just wonder if there was suppose to be something else there?

There is a strip of welting which attaches to the cowl area at the back of the hood. I'll be down the shed later so will take a photo for you.

I would really appreciate a photo of the area were the inner fender meets the top of the fender itself. That's were I had one question about there being anything for the hood to rest on?

Thanks David

There was a thin bit of felt strip where the inner fender bolts to the fender - more of an anti-squeak thing I think.

Should be a rubber bumper on the bottom of the hood halves toward the front, should be a hole for it I'm sure there in Roberts catalog

I haven't seen a truck here in Oz with a bumper on the bottom edge of the hood half... but then again we do things a little different here in Australia. Maybe you guys  did it different over there?

The bottom edge of the hood doesn't touch on the top of the fender on my truck/s as the hood is supported by the welting on the cowl at the rear of the hood, and also at the rubber bumper on the radiator top cover at the front of the hood (see photos) - apologies as photos a bit grainy as it was a little dark in my shed.

off a 51..... but one bumper in front and the back rest on the lacing

 

Davin, hope all is well....... last time I went out to "the shed" (40 plus years ago) it was to get my own switch. (or paddle)

The B3's and 4's have a rubber bumper on the bottom lip of the hood. On the B1's and 2's its on the radiator shroud.
