Hi 3612:

That part is called the Tonneau Cowl Clamp Part 176314 and Tonneau Cowl Clamp Bracket and Bumper 176315.

They are the same part number for the Dietrich designs from 1930 through 1934.

There was a 34 on loan to the Frick museum in Pittsburgh. They may be able to help you. In fact the owner might even be willing to loan you his pieces for reproduction or put you in touch with somebody in the area that can make copies of his. He's a good guy.

I'm sure if you look around you can find one given there are so many fakes. In the old days they were much harder to find.

Hope this helps.
