Tubman,
Thanks for the comments! Man I am trying to learn a whole new language.
I repaired the left front hood latch last night so that the knob on the spring would not pull through. It was worn. I was very surprised that the nuts on the screws loosened and I was able to remove it and gently close up the worn slot by moving the metal on both sides closer. Minor enlargement of the screw holes so the bolt pattern would align with the car. This could have fallen off on a road trip or been easily lost. Not a expert on any of these items but years of doing other refurb work, gives me some skills to correct and repair items if at all possible.
One thing I kind of like on a unit that your not going to strip and paint is that the time to fix this one item was maybe a hour. but required no real clean up or paint. Original hardware went right back in after cleaning the threads and apply a little lube.
Regards,
Chris
