There is a plate usually riveted to that spot, then attatched to the fender is a block, rubber on some and braided metal on the WW2 stuff. I thought FFPWs had this rubbing plate and block but maybe not? I remember now, my 1949 had the plate rivited and the rubber block mounted on the fender, I think it is to keep the hood from vibrating.
