Kevin bc Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just at the stage of priming the bonnet on my 1930 DC dodge Phaeton, and I noticed a insert in one of the side pieces, where it joins onto the top piece. There is not a similar piece on the other side piece. My thoughts are that it is probally an "anti rattle insert" , or a " wedge to align the bonnet pieces correctly", It is reasonably loose fitting, and can be moved slightly with the fingers. Looks like it is just a piece of steel or copper bent into a U shape, and is lightly crimped over the bonnet side. It looks as though it would bear on the hinge pin Members let me know your thoughts. I am going to re assemble it as is,but I'm just interested to know what it is actually for. My DC sedan, does not have this insert on either side of the bonnet Kevin BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Can’t say that I’ve seen one before on a hinge edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
