Default 1939 deluxe safety hood latch

could someone tell me if the safety hood latch is off center of the grill towards the pass. side. i'm trying to put an air deflector on my 39 deluxe but the notch on the deflector for the safety latch is dead center. i tried to post a pic but couldn't upload it. thank you.

No one makes one to my knowledge. You could make your own out of sheet metal or modify the one you have.
