Hood Bumpers
I purchased a set of hood bumpers for my '49 F1. Unfortunately, I didn't take quite enough pictures of the hood to know where all bumpers go. I have pictures that show the large bumper on the nose of the hood and a picture that shows (2) on either side toward the middle and rear of the hood. Do the larger push in types go to the rear or to the middle? I also have a smaller similar pushin and a flatter button type bumper that I do not know where to locate. Can anyone help?

I just finished mine. I installed the large bumper in the at the very front of the hood by drilling out the rubber a littel and using a bolt in the existing hole after removing the stock bolt. I then installed the other pairs by going thickest toward the front and thinner as I reached the rear. You can use existing hole in the hood.

Thanks for the feedback. I have done the same thing as you did with the front bumper - drilled it out to the size of the original screw.
The thicker front to back was my guess. Also, I have (1) unique relatively flat (the size of a quarter) bumper in the kit. Where does that one go?
Thanks,
Dennis
