I'm trying to determine the exact locations for the hoood bumpers. I've got a Carpenter bumper kit with 8 small bumpers I figure go along the sides equally spaced but I'm not sure where the 2 bigger ones go or the 2 big flat ones go. Anyone with pictures or can describe where they go?

Measuring from the back of the bottom edge of the hood the 8 small bumpers are at 6", 21", 38", and 41" on each side. (Should be a hole in the bottom edge of the hood at about each of those locations to insert the bumper.) The two big bumpers go on each side of the spring/latch post as in this picture:

The two big flat ones don't go on the 41-48. They are for the 39-40.

Thanks. I've got that piece from the pic out of the hood right now and didin't think to look there. Really appreciate the help.
