cuda hood latch position
« on: July 15, 2011 - 04:16:37 AM »
Hey,
im trying to wrap up a few things on my car today and realized that with the hood closed and the grill in, i cannot release the latch through the grill. i know it is a 70 latch but it seems as though there is not enough room to lift it up and release it. Looking for a picture of a proper one installed. the handle comes through the lower slot of the upper part of the grill closest to the nose. i cannot move the latch any lower.
 i just want to check the contours before trying to bend it. also how much play shold be in the handle? if any?
thanks :bigsmile:
