AG hood & frame
#12
Photo 
            My early AH Tourer (AH444) has two holes in the hood frame about 8" and 13" back from the front ash cross piece.  On the inside of the forward hole there is a loosely riveted (pivoting) leather strap fitted with two Lift The Dot fasteners (see photo of an  original detached strap).  The rearward hole is for a LTD nipple, again facing inwards.  With the hood up, the strap is kept from flapping about by being secured to this nipple using the LTD fastener nearest the rivet.  
The hood rests have a thick rubber cushion held in place by a special LTD nipple with a 5/8" long 3/16" BSF thread, which screws directly into a 1/8" thick shaped retaining plate. (photo shows the plate with a similar nipple, but with the threaded portion being too short).  
When the hood is folded, the leather strap is simply wrapped over the folded frame and fastened by means of the LTD fastener furthest from the rivet, directly to the nipple on the hood rest, thus leaving the nipple on the hood frame unused.
I have never seen an original hood bag.  It would seem likely that it would be at least partially secured by means of a LTD fastener pressed onto the now spare nipple attached to the hood frame.  I would be surprised if any straps provided for this job were separate and detached from the bag itself.  I would imagine that they would be sewn in - even cheap tool wraps were made this way.
