1950 Split Hood Rear Center Support Bracket???

I started to put the 2 halves of my 1950 hood together when I noticed I am missing a center rear support bracket.

Does anyone have a picture of what this bracket looks like or even better a source or part number to buy a new one?

I have one bolt broken off, will need to drill that one out.



Thanks,

As a side note, I've been removing a lot of twisted-off bolts on the sheet metal panels on my truck. Drilling them out works, but is kind of time consuming.

What seems to work best is to heat up the fastener with an oxy-acetylene torch until it is cherry red then back it out with a vice-grip. So far it has worked 100% of the time.

Thanks for the tip, if only I had not already painted the hood I totally forgot about it before we painted.
