need some help need measurements as to where the hood latch parts go on the hood side panels how high and location from front edge and rear edge have solid hood panels that person befor me used screws to hold them on I want to use stock latch parts
Measurements on my hood latches are: centerline of front latch 3 1/2" from front of hood side, centerline of rear latch 7" from rear of hood side and the top of each hood latch bracket is 4" above the bottom of the hood side. Let me know if this is unclear.
Sorry I don’t have an original hood, but here’s my roadster project (first four pics) and my Tudor project (last four pics). I believe they are very close to original as I used an original 32 model b 5W hood as a template when I started these projects. Just don’t have that hood any longer. Now if that old hood was ‘modified’, my stuff will just be ‘close enough for the girl I date’. Hahaha.
Looks like you got it covered but I have my ‘32 fordor not too far from you if you need other measurements or templates.
