Hood latch bumper?
 

There is an easy answer I am sure....

On my 28 Tudor, should there be a round rubber bumper rivetted to the hood just below each hood clip bracket?

Thanks,

Gus

Yes

Thankyou.

If your hood is already mounted but still needs the rubber riveted on I have done that. It's a two man job, as one guy needs to hold a heavy steel backup and the hood, while the other guy rivets.

Thanks,

I am mid restoration and have the hood sides off. I have now drilled holes (someones previous patch repair hadn't included re-drilling these holes) and will be getting them blasted (very carefully) and primed. Then I can do some body prep and paint when the time comes.

Thanks for the advice.

I used the small brake lining rivet setting tool sold by the vendors to rivet the rubber bumpers on the hood of my most recent project with no damage to the paint.

I used the same as Richard, and putting a drop of oil on the tool tip helps to make a nice roll on the rivet.
