Title: Hood Latch
Post by: Mac_Frazer on October 09, 2011, 08:13:36 AM

Could someone snap a picture of the hood latch and post, I have a new one to put on my 47 Frazer
Manhattan and a picture is a thousand words.
Thanks Steve

I think he means, "take a picture and post it" (the picture) here.

OOPS, was thinking of my 51 FORD PU which has a post in the center of the spring that goes into the latch plate. My glasses need cleaned.

 ???Thanks guys got it, was going at it the wrong way. Duh!!
Well all is coming together well, all the little minor parts that were not put back on for whatever reason, are just about complete. The hood support arm I got looks to be about an inch too long so will have cut it down and drill a new hole. Soon as I get the rebuilt fuel pump back will be able to drive it to another building where I got more room and more light to work on it.
Locksmith keyed my trunk an glove box, no keys before. Will work on door and ignition next. Found a set of matching tumblers with original Kaiser keys in a box, one tumbler has a little cover over it.
I'm assuming these are for the doors, and we're going to be installed at a later time. Will see if my locksmith can work magic.
One of my biggest concerns is the cloth covered wiring, I'm seeing a lot of areas where it is flexed more, like around the distributor, and lamp sockets, that the cloth is breaking off due to age. So been looking hard and using tape to cover these areas. Don't need a disaster at this point.
