Hi all,
I'm hoping someone out there can help me.
I am restoring a 1935 Hudson Terraplane Deluxe & can't seem to find the support bar that holds the centre of the bonnet up.
The car was not altogether when I got it.
Does anyone knw & can thye explain to me what it looks like.
I have the chrome that joins it together on the outside but I'm pretty sure it needs some form of support under the centre.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you so much.
Regards
Linda

Yes there is a central support brace for the bonnet I am looking up my docs to see if I can find you a part number or pic of the part. I will also look up some parts sources for you if its not among your parts.

Take a look at this pic of a restored 1935. You can see under the bonnet is a cross brace of rods. The two bonnet halfs fit together and fit into the hole in the cowl and and the front radiator support. Can you see this on your car? also posts pics if you can.

Take a look at this.
