Hood Latch Assembly, '91 Classic

[starwolf56]

I have a unused CR hood latch assembly, which includes the male upper part, the female lower latch with the mounting box. I believe I also have the cable assembly. Yours if you need it. Just let me know where to send it. Charlie

I have the standard Classic Roadster inside release latch. But I would like to replace it with the two outside handles like a "real" Cobra. I wonder if DV sees this if he could tell me if this is doable and what I need.

Check out this link about 2/3 the way down

That other guy named Ed and DVs CRII build

I'm sure DV will chime in the next time he is online. I'll be at DVs on Saturday, if you need some additional photos.

Cheers!

CobraEd,
That is exactly what I have done. On Capteddies build on CC, DV has shown the dimensions on where to put the handles and how to modify on them.

I would like to hear how the NAPA hood prop rod works and what the modifications were. (if needed). I know DV suggested it but I am holding out for a chrome rod of some sorts. I have a 91 CR built 427. Still looking for a trunk support rod too. Finish Line has obe that extends but afraid to buy in case it does not fit. Also what type of screws are best to hold in the fiberglass where you can't put a bolt?

Some one responded on the CRII website forum, before it went down, saying they had a black tonneau cover for a CR for sale. Are you on this forum?

Yes, it is doable. I did it and it beats the original setup (only my opinion). I wanted to get rid of all that "stuff" on the firewall (latch,wires,etc). I will try to attach a pic tomorrow. My cobra is still stored in my neighbor's garage for the winter. If you are worried about security you can get the handles with a keyed lock. I got them from Finish Line. For a hood prop, I went to the Metal Supermarket and got some stainless steel rod and bent my own.
