Keith, I must confess that I have never noticed the type of hoodframe that you describe, However I have done a quick bit of research and have tracked down a car here Bristol that has the type of rear hood stick that you have on your car, It is a 1929 model First Reg. 29 10 29 Chassis no.98124 The owner of the car tells me that it is made of aluminium and is a hollow "D" section with a grove for a wood filler to tack on the hood material. As for the front stick, I am sure it will be just the standard 1926/28 ash peak that I have on my Chummy, I have an original one and can give you the dimensions if you need them. Regards Ian
