Fisch needs a 320 hood latch

[fisch]

Hey guys this is pretty much a repost from my build thread, but I need a hood latch for the '59! Both parts of mine are MIA, and the cable is toast. However I have a pretty good suspicion that the latch system for a 320 will be a direct match. So if I can confirm it, and someone has one for sale, I am in! (Cash will work, but if you are up for a trade for one of my Datsun prints, I am down with that for sure!)

 

Here are some photos of the '59. The thing to note is that the spacing between mounting holes (to the outside of the holes) is 2 1/2". Not sure if it is the same on a 320, but I'd bet it is! Can someone confirm it for me! I will be your best friend!

 

Upper Spot.

 

Lower Spot.

 

Here is the bottom of a 320. Look at the oval shape of the unit and then look at the spot for it in the photo above. There is a faint oval there too. Really makes me think it is a match!

 

I can find no photos of the upper latch on the hood of a 320, if anyone has one or can take one, (And measure it too!) I will be your best friend too!

 

So I need to buy one if it fits! Thanks guys!

Got one here for you Fischie.

 

I'm about to head out of town (PA) for the weekend, but when I get back I'll pull it for you.

 

Shoot me an email reminder? I'm ass-deep in 5 different projects. :)
