The '41 latch design(further ahead in nose of hood) needs to correspond with the '41 upper grille support(latch bar further ahead). I've seen a few hoods that have beed converted to the '40 design because the '40 upper grille support is available reproduction. I'm not sure however which linkage would work from the release handle to the latch......

PS -I have an extra '41 latch if you need.
