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.

Thank you very much. Radiator is not stock which explains a lot. Now I have an idea what should be ther.

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

Yes, very helpful, let u know how it works out.

How do I add images/pictures?

Appreciate your time and effort.

Thank you very much. The piano hinge I purchased doesn’t have the extensions. I will make some because what you say makes sense. Wish I could send pictures-you’ve been a great help.

I have after market piano hinge that I bolted both halves of the hood. Received my front and rear mounts behind radiator and cowl.. doesn’t appear that the piano hinge protrudes enough to fit into front and back brackets.

Thanks for the info. The sides are already together. I think I understand how the center hinge goes on between radiator and cowl. I have the center hinge ordered. What size bolts do I need to attach the two halves to the hinge between radiator and cowl?

Thank you very much. I probably don’t have anything but the hood.

I have the original hood for my 1935 ford pickup. I need installation instructions since I have no idea where to begin. Appears to two halves bolt together..
