Hi everyone, been a while since I posted up as I have been away in Taiwan doing some work. I picked up a bunch of parts and the car will be going up on stands in a month or two to pull the suspension and rear axel off to rebuild and update it all.
Currently I am trying to fix my hood latch issue and I have some questions. As I drive around my hood pops up and the safety latch catches it and keeps it from flying up luckily. The actuall lock down latch is broken and I can just push it up and down by hand, it seems like its stripped out. I would like to replace it.
After reading the hood FAQ's I am not sure what I exactly have. It looks like i might have a 68 hood (hood catch is welded in) but 67 latch mechanism. It also looks like someone has cut and bent the hood catch to make it work, or possibly its just wear and tear. I need to replace the hood mechanism but not sure exactly what I have so I am posting up some pictures.
Please give me advice and opinions on the pictures. I have also looked around many sites but can only find the latch and support for like $200+. I am looking for just the latch if possible. What do you guys think? HOOD CATCH:
