There appears to be a void in my new hood-insulation... Attached and circled. Help?
Early Cherokees have a retractable hood lamp/work lamp located there.
I do have the retractable lamp... But mine is mounted to the left of this opening. Might you have a photo?
That is not the area for the hood light assy on any of my Renix era rigs either (IIRC, I will check it later).
Also that does not look like the right insulation for the Renix era.
Edit: On second thought, may the insulation is just not in the right place yet, as mentioned below.
That is where the hoses come out of the water pump. My 88 has the OEM insulation with the same cut out. Upper right cut out is for the latch assembly and lower left is for the light.
Your pic is a little misleading because your insulation is not really in place
Heater hoses and rad hose will rub right there, i am out working on mine and looked.I have the same cut out in the front just like yours.
Mine is a 89
That's the exact spot where one of my cooling hoses rubs on the hood. Maybe there's not enough clearance for material there.
