Fastwin Cowl Bumpers

[Bob Wight]

Reassembling my 1957 Fastwin and can’t remember the correct orientation of the port side cowl bumpers. Old ones were so rotted I didn’t take notice of them. Which of the enclosed pics is the correct orientation relative to the attachment screw?

I think it is the second (lower) picture. Subject to being corrected.

What Frank says. As the hood swings down, the curved shoulder lets it slide into position.

Frank – yes, I believe 2nd pic is correct after looking at the mounting tabs on the cowl.

Thanks to all for your confirmation. Had I looked at the cowl before posting my question, I could have figured it out, LOL!
