70 challenger hood latch
« on: June 08, 2015 - 12:43:15 AM »
is the hood safety latch mechanism for a 70 challenger in reproduction or do anyone restore them?  Also I need a attach stud which attaches the hood latch bracket to the radiator cowl support. Mine broke when I was removing the bracket. Are they available from a vendor?  They are the two upper studs which go through the radiator cowl support and the hood mechanism latch bracket.

Stephan Fournier in Quebec restores latches better then new :2thumbs:

The stud is an easy fix...drill out the center, tap new threads through it, screw in a new bolt to the correct lenght, cut it off and weld it on the back side.
