Wanted: hood hinge for '37 Terraplane

Jon B

Does anyone know of an available hood hinge (the stainless steel strip that runs down the center of the hood) for sale?  Or, are there reproductions that fit other antique cars, which can be adapted to the '37?

My recollection is that early 1950's MG TD or TC hood hinges will work.  Also, the hinge from a Mack truck for some years.  And some of the Ford repro hinges from the mid-thirties look like candidates, also!

Your help would be appreciated!

I've used the repro 36 Ford hinge strip on 33 Terraplanes. Either Bob Drake or Dennis Carpenter has them.

Thanks, '29.  The cross-section on those Ford ones looks very similar to the '37 Terraplane, but I hope I can get confirmation from someone that they definitely fit!
