Default Shoebox hood hinge bolts & wavy washers install ??
The wavy washer goes where? Between the bolt head and the hinge? Or
the hood and the hinge?
Thanks

I don't see the washer in the picture. What am I missing?

In '39 and '40 the washer was between the hood and the arm.
Not certain why it might be placed beneath the head of the bolt as I can't envision what use it would be there.

Follow Kube's suggestion as the wave washer helps prevent wear and wobble.
