    Were you aware that the hole was originally filled with a larger version of the oval head bumper bolt?  Of course, a third bumper guard would work fine as well.  (It's possible that other makes used the same sort of oversized bolt to hide their crank hole, and if so, a reproduction might be available.)

    Thank you for your info. However, the bumper is cracked at the hole and has been welded . I would like to hide the weld.

    There was a larger ( taller ) accesory gaurd that matched the originals. It was in the Hudson accessory catalog I believe.
    I had one on my 37 Terraplane

    The taller one would be great but probably harder to find than the std 9 in ones . Any out there?

    I have been looking for bumper guards for a couple of months now. Good luck!

    It sounds like you need to find the guy who bought what was posted on the forum 2 weeks ago on OCT 1st: "two front bumpers and one rear bumper plus 6 bumper guards all from a 1937 Terraplane" which then said they were sold.  The post is off the forum now, so you'd need some help.
    These are on EBay right now; https://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-Hudson-Terraplane-bumper-guards-ABSOLUTELY-STUNNING-Show-Quality-Set-of-4/133365653864

    I've been looking for 34T bumper guards for years - unobtainium.  I have one 1934 Hudson bumper guard with the triangle on it - doubtful it would be useful for you, but maybe if you were desperate and wanted to modify something.

    They are not for a 1937 Terraplane.

    If you live near Syracuse, NY, have a trailer, and some room on your property to dismantle a car, you can get four bumper guards plus some other spare '37 parts for just $750!  https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1937-hudson-terraplane.1206981/
