Title: Darrin hood latch
Post by: njpatera on November 28, 2016, 02:28:48 PM

Information seeking:-)
There is the piece of formed metal secured to the hood with fiberglass that the actual latch is bolted to...is that piece a platform on the Darrin only or is it on a Henry J also?

It is Darrin only. On the HJ the latch bolts directly to the hood.

Thank you sir! Mine is a little eaten away...I'll be repairing or fabricating another.

The HJ units differ from the Darrin version and are not interchangeable.

Thanks for the attempt Jake. I did see this on Ebay and noticed differences...but I'm only in need of the riser for mounting to the hood:-)
