 1941-47 senior Clipper hood pad
1941-47 Clipper Master Parts Book lists "Hood pads group 0.0015. Part number front 372165 Rear 373956." Confusing, because my car, as it left Detroit in this regard, has but one (1) almost halfway down the hood from the front of the car atop each front fender. Steele does not supply. A couple Packardites have suggested Steele's 30-0092-42 for the '48-'50 tubs. But from what I can see online, they lack the original Clipper pad's roll at the outward edge which helps stabilize the hood when locked closed, prevents the long, heavy hood from shifting even incrementally. Packard included that roll for a reason. Thought i'd make my own out of some quality neoprene sheeting i have, but obviously needs the metal core to hold the recessed screws securely. However, i do not understand the tubs having six (6) similar pads. There is only one on each side of my car as below, and my car is as it left Detroit. There is nothing else remotely like the below. Just one nearly halfway down the hood's length atop each front fender. Cannot imagine the junior, with its shorter hood, having more. This is for my '47 Super Clipper. Can anyone with a 1946-47 senior Clipper who has replaced this please tell me exactly what they used. But please, no "you getcha a" projects. Thought i'd make my own out of some quality neoprene sheeting i have, but obviously needs the metal core to hold the recessed screws securely and i don't want anymore projects regardless how paltry. Profound thanks.
