Center support bracket from hood to cowl for a 56 or similar

[Byeldon56]

Hello, I am in search of this part for my 56 sedan Deville, This part helps keep the rear of the hood from hitting the cowl when opening or closing.

Hello Brian, just saw this post in parts wanted. I had responded in your General Discussion thread about this part you are looking for. In that thread Dan had replied that a hood adjustment is required. That said, the piece you are looking for was designed to keep the hood from flexing and to stabilize it. It would assist in sorting out some of your hood issues, but as Dan replied you probably still need to adjust the hood as well.

The part you are looking for is a hood anti-flutter attachment. Fits at the central windshield end of the hood to stabilize it. I have a spare one, perhaps even two, that I would sell. May need new rubber. Easily replaced with a segment of that small rubber vacuum hose tubing. What I have came off of a 1956 Cadillac Series 62 SDV or CDV. From memory it looks a lot like (or just like the one in your photo). Don't think I have the mounting hardware but that should be available locally.

Will media blast it so it would be ready for you to paint or clear coat. $25 USD, shipping is extra with tracking. Send me a personal message if interested. Can dig out and post a photo if you like. Clay/Lexi

HELLO JUST SENT A PM THANK YOU.

Attached is a shot of this bracket following media blasting today. I left what is left of the rubber tubing on it. Any subsequent tubing you slide on may fit better with what is left there. Or strip off and use that plasti-dip stuff. Clay/Lexi

Hey Brian looks like I can't post a picture in PM. If someone knows how to do this please advise. Attached is a photo of the 2 cigarette lighters as discussed in our PMs. Not sure if operational, probably not. In decent condition otherwise. Clay/Lexi
