The "J" shaped piece on the hood latch with the screw in it that locks into the body fell off of one of my latches. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement part? Thanks, Chas
most of those aren't automotive specific, they are just utility type cams for cam latches
for instance, cage doors on delivery vans have them separating the passenger from the cargo area. a good hardware store, tractor supply, etc......
I used a flat screw and washer with some lock tight to keep the screw from loosening. The washer was placed in the space between the hood rod and the " j " shaped hood latch part. I put some jb weld/quick steel at the bottom of the long rod to keep them from sliding off. Just a back up.. I haven't had a problem since.
once you've established where it ends up on the shaft, drill a drill point into the shaft for the screw to nest into, might keep it there until you realize it needs to be tightened again.
