jakeshoe Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 My JTR manual is MIA and no luck finding it for the last week. I just need to know for sure what hood latch I need to rob at the wreckin gyard, and what all.. I just need the portion that bolts to the hood on a 280ZX right, and I cut down the spring... Just need a couple of final tidbits to make the Z roadworthy and can't find my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getZ Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 If you have a 240z latch you can make that work as well. Just line up the orginal latch, scribe an outline of the hole in the back, cut what you scribed and mount the cable latch. The only real problem I had was finding a nice mounting point for the latch cable because it gets really close to a latch mounting bolt. I landed up countersinking a small screw (stock m2 I believe) and mounting the latch plate to the base plate after I screwed the latch cable down and the countersunk screw is in between the plates.

jakeshoe Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Can anyone scan me the specific pages for the hood latch. I have the JTR brackets, but don't remember all the measurements, etc. Car runs and drives but I need to get the hood latching to drive it. jakeshoe@yahoo.com TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
