Troy,
Just wanted to ask ...... is this flat plate bracket we are discussing only used on the drivers side and the passenger side hood pull cable does not???

Yes, that is correct. The extension plate was only installed on the driver's side.

Troy
I have 1953 #201 here now
FYI - the extension is riveted to the dash and the hood pull is screwed to the plate with philips headed screws
If you need a photo - let me know
I am going to tear this car down this week - so I will be taking alot of documentation photos
Thanks
Chris

Thanks Chris. That's what I would expect to find.
Only thing left to do is determine if very early 53s did not come with the riveted extension plate. Checking on car #18 now.
