HOOD RELEASE

[Terry T]

What Kaisers had a hood release handle inside the passenger compartment?

All Kaisers and Frazers had an inside release.  The shape of the handle changed over the years, but they all had it as well as a secondary catch that was released by hand.

Would a Kaiser hood latch plate work with a Henry J hood lock bolt plate, ie, will Kaiser part that is monted to rad support interfact with the Henry J part mounted to hood??

Looking at both a Kaiser and Henry J hood release, they are definitely different, not interchangeable.  If you can secure the release cable to the lever/rod that moves left to right rather than fore and aft you could fabricate a hood release system. But why bother since the HJ system works?

Before this gets too far the "All Kaiser and Frazers had it..." does not refer to the Henry J. If you're asking/talking about the Henry J, they did not have a hood release cable.
