Easy Hood Lock

[Beuford]

I kept trying to think of an easy an inconspicous way to lock my hood when I have it sitting somewhere. I thought of a pad lock since it is inexpensive and easy to store when not in use. I didn't really want another cable from inside running thru the firewall. I came up with this. You can't see it until you put a lock on it and I know nothing will prevent a determined thief. I have a security system with a siren and a hood switch and door switches but this is just one more thing to slow them down. I made the parts from .090" thick steel and cut to fit. I drilled a 9/32 hole thru the 2 pieces. That should be a heavy enough lock.
