Does anyone have a picture of the front hood latch on the radiator shell and if they are available?

Thanks,

James

The front hood latch is part of the radiator surround, not originally a separate part. Look at post #4 of this thread https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=334442
Click on the last picture and it shows the engine side of the radiator. This gives a view of what the original design looks like. If you are installing a non-original radiator you will likely have to fabricate a suitable bracket. I'm sure this has been done by someone before.

Thank you very much. Radiator is not stock which explains a lot. Now I have an idea what should be ther.
 
My aftermarket radiator does have the hood latch; however, it is not even close to working. With help from this forum I made something that will work. Used 1/8” aluminum.
