Hi Mike,

I believe that clip retains the end of the bonnet prop rod (which is inserte=
d from the other side).  I've owned one of my Bugeyes since 1968 and that cl=
ip is missing.  The rod was also missing when I bought the car.  :-(

Duh.  I should have looked on the other side to see the hole the prop rod
goes into.  I just thought it was a hole, never guessed there was a
retaining clip on the other side.  OK, nevermind.

Ditto what Rick said.  There should be a hole for the prop rod to fit into.
A similar clip on the driver's side (LHD) radiator to inner fender bracket
for storing the rod.
