48-52 hood bumpers

The hood bumper kit from DC includes a total of 7 rubber bumpers. I assume that the 4 round ones that are the same are the rear most with 2 per side on the lip of the hood and the 2 slightly shorter round ones are the front ones (one per side). Which hole does the one somewhat rectangular bumper with the screw go into? Is it the hole in the latch plate just to the rear of the catch? Did others have to glue in the 6 round ones? I found out right away that if you go to work over the fender in the engine bay the shirt on your back catches and pulls out one of those bumpers.

Hi Bill,


I found this picture on line. The bumper with the screw goes in the very front center. the others go from tallest in front to shortest near the cab. My kit also had two that went in the side of the cowl by the hinges. I could get a shot of these tonight.

Rich,
Thanks for your reply and the picture. You are correct I did not count the 2 "button" shaped bumpers in the cowl.
