The Ford Barn

Help!! Trying to put the cowl vent in and I seem to be missing something. The hinge does not have bolts or holes so does it require some sort of clips to attach the hinge together. As it is put it all together and it sort of flops around and will not close properly. What am I missing?
Thanks Vernon

Here's a shot from under the dash of the cowl mechanism.

Vernon, I'd love to see a picture of your '35 when you get time post 'er here.

I'm real partial to the '35-'36 Ford pickups, best looking pre-War pickup Ford built.

Well I finally figured it out. Found what was left of small rivets that held the 2 pieces together, now to try and drill out and put bolts and locknuts.
Thanks Guys
