COE hood latches?

Anybody have a set or has anyone come up with an alternative? Because of the ark of the hood swing bear claws don't work. If you have come up with something else I would love to see some pictures.
Thanks,
Rob

Re: COE hood latches?

Hello 47 Fasttoys, Not knowing what direction you are going or what you want the latches to look like or location. I found these hood release latches on Saab and made them fit my front clip tilt.. Not finished yet but they work real good. Here are just a few pictures to show what I did. They are released by cable by lever handle that I put under the dash.
