Help , Please , 1937 Plymouth P4 , Hood to body attachment

[Jc Deluxe P20]

My 1937  Plymouth  P4  business  coupe  was bought with the  front  end  sheetmetal in  pieces  and  now  trying  to  assemble  same  i  am  at  a  loss  just  how  the  hood  attache's

 

to  the  body  .  .  The  parts  book  i  have  does not  have a    picture  or  description  of  a  part  that  could  hold  the  hood  down .  i'm  referring  to  the  center  section

 

not  the  side  panels

I don't know how similar it is, but on my '33 there is are saddle shaped pieces that screw onto the top of the firewall and the radiator shell. The hood hinge sits in the saddles then a cover screws down over that to hold it in place.

 

I am out of town but I can take photos when I get home if that would help.

there should be 4 tabs on the hood itself secured by 4 bolts. 2 in the front and 2 in the back that bolt to the body. The photo is the back one.
