Need 71 Cuda hood latch release pics!!
« on: June 16, 2009 - 10:31:56 PM »
I must have parts from mixed years. I only have the hood pins holding down the shaker. I'd like to put the correct hood release on w/ the proper lever. I need to see what lever extends thru the 71 grill and the mechanism it's linked to etc..

If anyone can post some close-ups.. I'd would really appreciate it. thank you!

71 Fish-
It's been over 120 days since your post (I was warned). ;)
Anyway, I just purchased a 71 Cuda hood realease cable.
- See pics.

Question for all-
Where does the handle mount?  I've tried several locations, but the locations do not look proper.
Left hand side, under dash, near e-brake handle.  The hood latch handle has a "V" style bracket.  I can't make the bracket mount flush. :clueless:

Your words of wisdom (and pics) are greatly appreciated,
Ron
