Re: Dimensions of hood edge protektor
The first two photos are an original AA truck with original rear hood corners. First photo is the outside, and second photo is inside the hood where the seam goes. The stitching is NOT exposed to the outside after installation. Both straight edges are 1 1/2"-1 5/8". The diagonal from the corner of the two straight edges measures 2". Use a tubular rivet with small washer upset on the inside of the hood. Sewing a pair of these should not be difficult. Use the thinnest leather you can find, so that it bends easily. Maybe cut some leather out of an old handbag?
The last two photos are new hood corners from Snyders, with rivets, washer, and instructions. See the small indent in the middle of the diagonal? When installed, the indent creates a nice rounded edge at the edge of the hood. Color is black.
