That triangle part goes with the points up it’s the last piece in or the first PIece however you wanna look at it and I found that piece in 2 1938 hoods and not in third hood however when checking the 1939 heard it did not have that piece in it and of course the 39 latch is different than 38...
Many thanks for the pictures I’m putting together at 38 right now everything‘s done but putting the hood latch on and the side curtains I’ve got two of these latches apart and two hoods a 38 and 39. that small triangle part that you have been question is for a 1939 I have 1938 hood latch parts...
