Hood Latching Kit, Altmans





Dont see why its better then the Original


























Altman Easy Hood Latch for the F-100. It takes the reliability and function of our door latches and moves it to the hood. This time.........NO CUTTING!! Our latch kit is a direct bolt-in kit. No cuts, no welding necessary. It does away with the need for a safety catch and comes with a formed plate to cover the hole left by the original safety catch. The original hood mounted "striker bolt" is replaced by our newly designed striker bolt with nylon sleeve

I don't believe it is better than the original, either. Anyone who will leave off the safety catch on purpose is asking for trouble, imho.
