1935Packard Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) '35 senior cars have straps that connect from the firewall to the hood, I assume to keep the hood from lifting up too much. You can see the strap here in a picture from the web on the far right, to the right of the bijur system and then disappearing up to the raised hood: My car is missing its straps. I wanted to get new straps, and I was wondering, where on the hood does the strap attach? I can see where it attaches on the firewall/cowl, but I can't see where it attaches to the hood.

Owen_Dyneto Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Don't know about 1935 senior and newer but on 1934 and back for a few years the end attaches to the same little fixture that holds the rear inside hood rubber bumper pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Dave. There's a hood bumper pad on the middle of the hood, but that's really far away from the cowl area. When I lift up the hood for a place to attach the strap, this is what I see; It's not clear to me where it attaches. (Sorry for 83 years of dirt/grime, etc.) Edited October 12, 2018 by 1935Packard (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mitchell Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It attaches to the hood latch rod which you can see in your photo with the hook on the end. The strap clips to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
