My parts manual No 175 Jamuary 1042 for the 1940-41 ,,,,covering 8cwt to 3 tons has no listing past 8.028 Catch, hood then jumps to 8-27 and further on 8.112

The 8-27 ( dash not a typo) goes on listing Part number 114286 Anti squeak Hood to radiator shell and cowl (sold per foot) webbing

Part number 37852R ANTI-SQUEAK, hood to radiator shell and cowl, (sold by the foot) Rubber

You are correct both rubber and canvass webbing was used.

On mine they looked old enough and tattered to be original and were all canvass as shown by Jacek.

Now I have to consult my vast library of photos to see which had what. Tomorrow I will check the Alligator nose cab 12 at the back as I can't remember ever seeing rubber.

You never finish to learn at this game.

Cheers
