'56 Hood Bumpers

Well, I am stumped already. I thought I took pictures of everything but can't find the locations of the placement of the hood bumpers. There are 6 pieces, 2 conical and 4 zig zag pieces.
Can anyone give me a detailed explanation of where and how they attach?

Regards, Mark.

Here is a picture of the zig zag pieces. I only had one on each side. Notice the hole that they go in to hold them in place.
The conical pieces go on the hood I believe. I don't seem to have a picture of that. I will see if I can get a picture for you. It might be this evening though. Someone else might have something handy.

Thanks Joe!
As soon as it gets a little lighter out, I'll go back to the shop, turn on the heat, and see if I can place them properly. I think you are correct, there are holes in the hood where the conical ones might push in.
I will let you know.

Regards, Mark.

I ran to the shop on the way out the door. Here is what I currently have.
Location of the conical bumpers:


Both zig zag bumpers installed.

Heat them up in hot soapy water before trying to install. The ones that go on the fender..... if you get a part of the rubber through go under the fender and pull it through with a pliers.

Well, had no problem with the conical bumpers, went right in the holes on the hood. However, the coe is different and there is no place to affix the zig zaggies. I'll take a picture and post it later of what I have.

Thanks for the tip Abe, it is appreciated.

Regards, Mark.

Here are some pictures of the tops of the inner fenders, no place to put the zig zags that I can see!
