Default Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question

I could not tell for the first part from my assembled latch, but for the second, it is on top, ears down and pointed part towards the front. The ears stick down through holes in the hood and are pinned with cotter pins. The pointed part contacts the 'hook' on top of the grille and moves up out of the way to allow the mechanism to rotate.

From the pics I posted earlier it looks like the tabs are down on the first part. The flat is towards the front when open allowing the hook to go by. I think that should orient it fully.
