David,
I had Simon Laxton make me a hood bag for my chummy and the clips were something I raised with him, I don't think Simon was very familiar with cars with them which suggests that they were not fitted to all chummies.
Luckily I guess about the time Simon was making my hood bag a he had a chummy in with them fitted.
I sold a 1930 AE before buying my 1928 AD, that didn't have them. And that was a PITA to keep the hood irons tidily stowed. These clips certainly make life easier on that front, but they are finger trappers getting them out of the way as you fold up the hood down onto the rests.
Ian hinted that they may only be fitted to 1929 cars, I guess AD's like his.
Mine is a '29 model but made in October or November 1928. We attended an event last year where there was another coil engined 1928 AD (front headlamps - plated cowl), it had an earlier chassis and car number than mine, it didn't have them fitted. David Cochrane I believe the owners are friends of yours. They live in Audlem.
