Hood latch rollers

Recommended Posts

The hood latch on my Raider doesn't stay latched, its got those rollers which I assume simply pinch tight against the frame/dash. Any suggestions how to tighten up the latch?

That 1/4" rod gets bent down, that may be what causes it to come lose. The holes in the hood may be worn. I had to patch mine the hole was almost 3/8" I made some 1/8" thick brackets and riveted

them to the hood with small rivets that are used to hold ID plates. I also made a new 1/4" rod as the old one was in bad shape.
